Early-season strugglers Udinese welcome Lecce to the Dacia Arena for a Serie A encounter on Monday evening.
Still winless so far this season, Andrea Sottil is on thin ice in the Udinese hotseat, and they need points soon before a daunting November fixture list.
The club's rapid demise is extraordinary considering this time last year they were right up near the summit, rivalling Napoli as the two sides who made the best starts to the 2022-23 campaign.
While Udinese's defeats came against strong opponents such as Juventus, Napoli and Fiorentina, the manner of the games they have failed to win has been the major disappointment.
Failure to beat an Empoli side who has lost six of their seven matches prior to their meeting last time out illustrates how much Udinese are underperforming.
That uneventful 0-0 draw was the side's third of the season already, with the others coming in equally frustrating circumstances against newly-promoted pair Frosinone and Cagliari.
