Lecco

LDLLLL 📉

Lecco won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 4-1 Serie B loss in their previous game against Ascoli.

In that game, Lecco had 54% possession and 15 shots at goal with 6 on target. The scorer for Lecco was Franco Lepore (13'). At the other end, Ascoli had 10 shots at goal with 7 of them on target. Fabrizio Caligara (19', 42'), Giuseppe Bellusci (71') and Dávid Ďuriš (86') scored for Ascoli.

It has been all too rare in recent times where Lecco have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Lecco have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 12 goals during that time. Such a pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this next game, though.

Coming into this clash, Lecco haven’t won at home in the past 5 league matches. That's never good.
