Bologna F.C.
- Bologna F.C. are enjoying their best run of form of the 2025-2026 Serie A campaign, having won three of their last five matches, and should record a home win on Sunday against an out-of-form Lecce side.
- Vincenzo Italiano has done a good job since taking charge in June 2024, implementing a high-tempo, possession-based system that has seen his side press aggressively and overload opponents in transition, particularly in wide areas.
- Bologna F.C. sit 8th in Serie A with 45 points from 31 matches.
- Bologna F.C. have won five, drawn two and lost eight of their 15 home games, scoring an average of 0.93 and conceding 1.20.
Lecce
- Lecce have lost four of their last five matches, suffering three straight defeats, including failing to win in their last two trips to Bologna F.C.
- Lecce’s away form has been particularly disappointing, winning just three, drawing two and losing 10 of their 15 away Serie A matches this season.
- The Wolves have scored just 0.67 goals per game away from home, conceding an average of 1.40 goals.
- Eusebio Di Francesco, who took charge in June 2025, has struggled to get his side up and running, with his compact, counter-attacking style not yet translating to positive results.
Head-to-Head
The last two head-to-head meetings have been draws, including a 2-2 result at Lecce six months ago.
Key Players
Lameck Banda leads the way for the Salentini with just three goals in 25 Serie A appearances, while Riccardo Orsolini has seven in 29 Serie A appearances for Bologna F.C.
Betting Insights
- The odds for both teams not to score are 1.77.
- Under 2.5 goals seems a good shout at 1.67, and a single goal could decide the match with Bologna F.C. given the edge.
Prediction
- Bologna F.C. are the clear favourites to win the match at 1.76, but I’m going for a home victory in this Serie A encounter.
- They should be able to keep a clean sheet on Sunday against a toothless Lecce side.
