The Bianconeri are hoping for three more points in an attempt to put themselves in contention for European football.&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;Udinese have won their last two Serie A matches against Lecce without conceding. Only once have they won three in a row against them in the top-flight (between 2011 and 2020), while they could keep three consecutive clean sheets against them for the first time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lecce and Udinese have only drawn one of their 16 Serie A encounters (eight wins for the Giallorossi and seven for the Bianconeri) at Via del Mare: 2-2 on October 19&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; 2008.&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 their last three Serie A matches (W1 D2) and could avoid defeat in four in a row for the first time since April/May 2024.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Udinese have earned 33 points in 25 Serie A games this season (W9 D6 L10) and they have not won more in their previous Serie A 11 seasons at this stage (also 33 in 2017/18). If should they win, the Bianconeri could gain at least 36 points after their first 26 seasonal matches for the first time since 2012/13 (37 in that case).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Udinese have scored a higher proportion of headed goals than any other side in Serie A this season (28% - 9/32), while no team have scored more goals from crosses than the Friuliani (12, level with Inter and Atalanta).&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;Udinese are the only opponent Lecce’s Ante Rebic has scored 2+ goals multiple times against in Serie A (two braces for AC Milan in January 2020 and August 2022). Only against Torino (5) has he scored more goals against than Udinese (4) in the competition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jurgen Ekkelenkamp has scored in two games in a row only for the second time in the top 10 European leagues, after March 2023 for Antwerp (and could he find the net in three successive matches for the first time). The last Udinese midfielder to score in three Serie A games in a row was Rodrigo De Paul, between December 2019 and January 2020.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first of Udinese’s Florian Thauvin`s 11 Serie A goals came against Lecce, in October 2023. His six goals this season are his most in a big five European league campaign since 2020-21 (8 with Marseille).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: none&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Rafia, Pierotti, Ramadani (Lecce); Kamara, Ehizibue, Giannetti (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;BONACINA (IMPERIALE – MORO) IV: DOVERI, VAR: GUIDA, 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&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina-Lecce (Friday 28 February, 20:45 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Udinese-Parma (Saturday 1 March, 20:45 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;
