💡 Prediction

We’re of the view that Lecce are likely to stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

Conversely, Mantova will be up against it finding the net themselves but do we see them converting at least once here.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a controlled 3-1 margin for Lecce come full-time.
