Inter (home)
- Inter are the Serie A leaders with 33 points from 15 games.
- Inter have won six of their eight home Serie A games this term, conceding just five goals.
- Chivu, appointed in June 2025, has quickly implemented a more attacking, vertical playing style that has seen Inter deploy a 3-5-2 formation with wing-back overloads, quick transitions and a more proactive press scheme.
Lecce (away)
- Lecce are 14th with 16 points after as many games.
- Di Francesco, who took charge in June 2025, has gone in a different direction with a 4-3-3 that is also vertical, but focuses more on playing through the thirds and looking to counter-attack quickly whenever Lecce lose possession.
- Lecce have had mixed results, winning two, drawing one and losing two of their last five.
- Lecce have lost four of their seven away games, conceding 11 goals.
Head-to-Head
Lecce have failed to win in their last three trips to Inter.
Key Players
Lautaro Martinez is Inter’s biggest threat with eight goals in 15 Serie A appearances, four of which have come in their last five, but Lecce’s biggest goalscorer, Konan N’Dri, has just two in 10 appearances.
Betting Insights
- Inter are strong favorites to win this game at 1.32, the draw is 4.85 and Lecce are massive underdogs.
- Over 2.5 goals seems a solid bet here at 1.72.
Prediction
- We’re going to side with the hosts here as Inter have a great record against Lecce and have been in good form recently, although the match odds are a bit too low to back them at those odds.
- With Inter in the ascendancy, Lecce will have to play on the front foot and this fixture could develop into a fast-paced end-to-end clash, especially down the wings.
- Inter’s control of possession will clash with Lecce’s transition game and that could create some end-to-end action, but we’re backing Inter’s star power to be too much for Lecce.
