Lecce vs Torino Live Stream, Predictions

📊 Form Guide

Lecce

LWDWLL

Lecce will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 2-0 Serie A loss in their previous game against Inter Milan.

In that game, Lecce managed 38% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 1 of them on target. Inter Milan had 14 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. Henrikh Mkhitaryan (29') and Lautaro Martínez (53') scored for Inter Milan.

It has been all too rare in recent games that Lecce have shown defensive steel. In fact, Lecce have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 7 goals along the way. That kind of trend isn’t assured to be continued into this match, of course.

Coming into this clash, Lecce haven’t won at home in the past 4 matches in the league. Their fans aren't happy.

Torino

👥 Head to head

A combined total of 19 goals were produced between them in these games, with 11 of them from Giallorossi and 8 for Il Toro. The average number of goals per game works out to 3.17.

That time, Torino managed 59% possession and 13 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Their only player to score was Nikola Vlašić (40').

📰 Team News: Lecce

Kastriot Dermaku (Pubalgia) and Marin Pongracic (Ankle Surgery) won’t be able to feature for Lecce gaffer Marco Baroni.

It’s our opinion that Giallorossi will probably kick off with a 4-3-3 formation this time, handing starts to Wladimiro Falcone, Valentin Gendrey, Federico Baschirotto, Samuel Umtiti, Antonino Gallo, Alexis Blin, Morten Hjulmand, Joan Gonzalez, Gabriel Strefezza, Lorenzo Colombo and F. Di Francesco.

ℹ️ Team News: Torino

Torino boss Ivan Jurić has multiple availability issues to deal with. Ronaldo Vieira (Bruised Knee), Valentino Lazaro (Sideband tear in the knee), Nikola Vlasic (Hamstring Injury) and David Zima (Meniscal Injury) are not able to play.

We are inclined to think that Il Toro seem likely to utilise a 3-4-2-1 lineup, starting V. Milinkovic-Savic, Andrew Gravillon, Perr Schuurs, A. Buongiorno, Wilfried Singo, Ricardo Rodriguez, Karol Linetty, Ivan Ilic, Aleksey Miranchuk, Yann Karamoh and Antonio Sanabria.

🧠 Prediction

In our opinion, Torino and Lecce are both capable of scoring here.

We’ll see, but this looks like it could end up all-square. We therefore see a very close game with a 1-1 score at the end of this one.
