Serie A 2024-2025: Udinese-Lecce, the likely lineups

Udinese-Lecce, the probable formations

The Saturday of the seventh day of Serie A opens with the 3 p.m. match between Udinese and Lecce at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine. The Friulians want to erase the two consecutive league knockouts against Roma and Inter. They are no better off than the Salentini, who have picked up two points in their last three outings.

Runjaic has to reckon with a Thauvin who is not at his best in attack: in case of the Frenchman’s forfeit, è Brenner is ready to pair with Lucca. In midfield Ekkelenkamp è favored over Zarraga, with Ehizibue and Zemura, ahead of the recovered Kamara, on the outsides. In defense Giannetti returns, but should start on the bench, with Touré from the 1'.

Gotti loses Banda in attack due to injury: in his place will be Rebic, with Krstovic and Dorgu completing the trident. In the midfield, Ramadani in the booth, assisted by Pierret and Coulibaly. Defense headed by the Baschirotto-Gaspar pair, Falcone between the posts.

Probable lineups

UDINESE (3-5-2): Okoye; Touré, Bijol, Kabasele; Ehizibue, Lovric, Karlstrom, Ekkelenkamp, Zemura; Brenner, Lucca. All. Runjaic.

LECCE (4-3-3) Falcone; Guilbert, Baschirotto, Gaspar, Gallo; Coulibaly, Ramadani, Pierret; Dorgu, Krstovic, Rebic. All. Gotti.
