&lt;p&gt;Lecce are looking for their fifth consecutive useful result in front of their home crowd to celebrate safety with two days to go.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Udinese, in the relegation zone and winless since 11 March, badly need a victory. The last two matches see Udinese face up against Empoli at home before a trip to Frosinone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lecce are unbeaten in six of their last seven Serie A matches (W3 D3) – their only defeat in this period came against Milan in April.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Udinese have drawn the most matches this season in the major five European leagues (18). Only once in their history have the Friulians recorded more draws in a single Serie A campaign (20 in 1982/83). Moreover, the last team to draw more games in a single season in the Italian top-flight were Lazio in 1990/91 (19).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This match is between the team that have gained the most points with goals scored in the last 20 minutes of play in this championship (Lecce, 16) and the one that have lost the most points from goals conceded in the same period&amp;nbsp;Udinese, 18).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lecce are unbeaten in their last four matches against Udinese in Serie A (W2 D2), having lost five of the six previous games against the Friulians (W1).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After the 1-1 draw in the first meeting in October, Lecce and Udinese could draw both matches in a single Serie A season for the very first time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There’s only been one draw in 15 Serie A matches between Lecce and Udinese at the Giallorossi’s home: a 2-2 draw in 2008 (eight Lecce wins, six Udinese wins).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nikola Krstovic has been involved in a goal in each of his last three league games (assist against Sassuolo and a goal against both Monza and Cagliari); he could be involved in at least one goal in four appearances in a row for the first time in Serie A.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lorenzo Lucca has scored just one goal in his last 16 league games, after having scored six in his previous 12 Serie A matches. Furthermore, only two of his seven goals in the Italian top-flight have come away from home: against Monza in October 2023 and against Lazio in March, the latter of which is his most recent goal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: Piccoli (Lecce)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Rafia, Piccoli, Krstovic, Sansone (Lecce); Thauvin, Success, Giannetti, Bijol, Ferreira, Ehizibue, Kamara (Udinese)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Massa (Imperiale-Preti) IV: Marchetti, VAR: Di Paolo, AVAR: Serra&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A TIM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lecce-Atalanta (Saturday 18 May, 18:00 CEST)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Udinese-Empoli (Monday 19 May, 15:00 CEST)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;
