It was almost inevitable that any match that followed Napoli's 4-3, come from behind (twice) victory over Lazio would seem slightly tame in comparison. It just didn't seem that Lecce - Udinese would be quite this much of a bore. Udinese, after all, are in top form in Serie A, sitting fourth in the table. The zebrette are tied with Inter Milan for number of goals scored, with 32 of those goals coming away from home, beating AS Roma by a ten goal margin. Lecce, meanwhile, are in 19th place, desperate for a win to lift them out of the relegation zone. The Salentini are able to score at home, but they're also well known for conceding at the Stadio Via del Mare, having allowed 21 goals there.
Lecce Vs. Udinese: Goalless At Halftime In This A Snooze Of A Match
In other words, this game should have a bit of life. Udinese want a Champions League position. Lecce need to survive. The visitors have the tiniest wonder duo in existence on their side in Alexis Sanchez and Antonio di Natale. So where’s the magic? The most we’ve seen so far was a Lecce shot hit straight to Samir Handanovič. On the other end, it was a distance shot from Sanchez that curved around the outside of the post.
Here’s hoping for goals, or at least one, in the second half.
