Lazio to Win
Lazio have won seven of their previous ten Serie A fixtures and lost one of their seven away games. Lecce won just one of their seven home games which was against Atalanta in the previous round.
Over 2 Goals
The goal statistics are showing a high probability for this match to be a high-scoring one. In detail, 86% of Lecce’s home games and 75% of Lazio’s away games in Serie A produced two or more goals. Moreover, the same trend happened in the last two h2h meetings.
Anytime Correct Score 0-1
Lazio succeeded to score first and take a 1-0 lead in 11 of their 15 Serie A fixtures this term. The same trend happened in Biancoceleste’s five of seven away games. Lecce meanwhile went down n down by a score of 0-1 in five of their seven home games.
Lecce
With the 0-2 away win at Sampdoria, Lecce have recorded their second consecutive win, extending their unbeaten run to 3 matches in the league. The Giallorossi have won three and drew six of their 15 games in Serie A collecting 15 points and taking the 16th position as a result.
Last season’s Serie B champions need to work harder if they want to stay one more season in the top flight. They did just that in their previous two games when they beat Atalanta and Sampdoria. Coach Marco Baroni will hope his team can maintain that form as they need more points to stay safe from the relegation zone.
Lazio
Lazio started their season with a four-match unbeaten run, winning two and drawing two. Since then, Il Biancoceleste won seven games and lost three in 11 rounds during which they had a four-match winning run. Lazio are currently in fourth place with 30 points in the Serie A table.
Coach Maurizio Sarri will be happy with his team’s defense who have not conceded a goal in five of their seven away games. At the other end of the field, Lazio scored at least a goal in five of their on-the-road games averaging 1.71 goals per game.
This will be a very important match for both teams as Lecce are looking to add to their points tally to climb the rankings while Lazio mustn’t drop points otherwise they might drop out of the top four. We think Lazio are too strong for Lecce and will come away with all three points.
Lazio have just one defeat in their seven away games and were able to cover the 0 goal handicap in six of their seven trips. Lecce failed against the handicap in six of their seven home games. With odds of 1.50 at 1XBet, we predict Lazio to cover the 0 goal handicap.
Ciro Immobile is Lazio’s most influential player in the attack in recent seasons. The Italian international was Serie A’s top scorer last season and already scored six goals in 11 games in Serie A in the current campaign.
There are no players currently injured or suspended for Lecce.
Massimo Sarri has a fully fit squad as well for this trip to Lecce.
