Lecce
LLLLDL 📉
Lecce will be hoping to bounce back here after a 2-1 Serie A defeat last time out to Juventus.
In that game, Lecce managed 34% possession and 14 shots at goal with 3 on target. The only player to score for Lecce was Federico Baschirotto (87'). On the other side, Juventus got 22 shots at goal with 7 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 go into this game after a 1-0 Serie A win vs Torino in their most recent outing.
In that match, Como had 58% possession and 15 shots at goal with 7 of them on target. The only player to score for Como was Tasos Douvikas (38'). At the other end, Torino got 10 shots 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.

💭
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.
