Serie A: Udinese vs Lecce – official line-ups and live updates | OneFootball

Kosta Runjaic has made a handful of changes to his Udinese wide, who will host Lucca Gotti’s Lecce in the first Serie A fixture in Saturday’s line-up.

Lorenzo Lucca returns to the starting line-up, and will play alongside Brenner in a completely changed front two, as Florian Thauvin and Keinan Davis drop out. Jurgen Ekkelenkamp is also back in the XI, as is Sandi Lovric.

Despite a 3-0 loss away to Milan last time out, Lecce have made just one change, welcoming Frederic Guillbert back into the team. Patrick Dorgu is expected to revert back to his position on the right-wing.

A win for Udinese will temporarily lift them back into second place in the Serie A table, although that is subject to change after the completion of the other matches on this weekend.

A win from Lecce would lift them out of the relegation zone and all the way up to 12th, where they would be level on points with 11th-placed Como.

Kick-off is set for 14.00 BST.
