Lecce

LLLLDL ⚠

Lecce will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 2-1 Serie A loss in their previous game against Juventus.

In that match, Lecce managed 34% possession and 14 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. The only player to score for Lecce was Federico Baschirotto (87'). For their opponents, Juventus got 22 shots on goal with 7 of them on target. Teun Koopmeiners (2') and Kenan Yıldız (33') scored for Juventus.

It has not been often in recent games that Lecce have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Lecce have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 10 goals along the way. Such a pattern might not be carried forward into this next game, though.

Ahead of this meeting, Lecce haven’t won at home in the past 8 league matches. It's been disappointing.

Como

LDLDWW 🌤

Como will go into the game following a 1-0 Serie A win to defeat Torino in their most recent match.

In that game, Como managed 58% possession and 15 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. The scorer for Como was Tasos Douvikas (38'). For their opponents, Torino got 10 attempts at goal with 4 on target.

The stats tell the story, and Como have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 7 goals in all. Defensively, Como have clearly had some problems.

↔️ Head to head

The previous league meeting featuring the two was Serie A match day 18 on 30/12/2024 and the score finished Como 2-0 Lecce.

On that occasion, Como managed 57% possession and 15 shots on goal with 8 on target. The goalscorers were Nico Paz (49') and Patrick Cutrone (80').

Lecce got 11 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target.

The referee was Marco Piccinini.

🗞️ Team News: Lecce

Joan González (heart problems), Filip Marchwinski (Cruciate ligament tear) and Gaby Jean (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be available for Lecce manager Marco Giampaolo.

In all likelihood, Giallorossi may well use a 4-2-3-1 system in the match and select Wladimiro Falcone, Danilo Veiga, Kialonda Gaspar, Federico Baschirotto, Antonino Gallo, Ylber Ramadani, Lassana Coulibaly, Thorir Helgason, Santiago Pierotti, Tete Morente and Nikola Krstovic.

ℹ️ Team News: Como

Como manager Cesc Fábregas has a number of players out of action. Alberto Dossena (Cruciate ligament tear) and Sergi Roberto (Hamstring strain) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We are inclined to think that I Lariani appear most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system, starting the game with Jean Butez, Mergim Vojvoda, Edoardo Goldaniga, Marc-Oliver Kempf, Alex Valle, Maxence Caqueret, Lucas Da Cunha, Gabriel Strefezza, Nico Paz, Assane Diao and Anastasios Douvikas.

✨ Prediction

We’re of the view that Lecce may well find it hard to put one past this Como team who we think should end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

Our tip is therefore for a good tussle with a 0-1 victory for Como after 90 minutes.

Looking forward to this.
