Lecce
- There has been a mixed bag of results for Lecce in the opening few games of the Serie A 2026-2027 campaign, with the giallorossi coming into this game in mid-table in 12th place with 6 points from 5 games, above the danger zone.
- Lecce have won 2 of their last 5 games and lost the other 3.
- Lecce's home games have seen plenty of goals, an average of 1.50 scored and 3.00 conceded per game in Serie A 2026/2027.
- They've shown their grit in a 3-2 win over Monza in one of their home games so far, but their two defeats in 3 away games have come to Cagliari and AC Milan.
Bologna
- Bologna are winless in their last 5 matches (D2, L3) and have failed to score in their two away games so far in Serie A 2026/2027.
- Bologna have had a more difficult start to the season in Serie A 2026-2027, with Raffaele Palladino taking over at the club on 16 September 2026.
- They sit in 18th place, and the rossoblù are already in trouble with just 2 points from 5 matches.
- The visitors are still looking to find their rhythm under Palladino, who is looking to install a more flexible 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 system.
Head-to-Head
We're taking the visitors to get a result on Sunday, as the last 5 meetings between these teams in Serie A have resulted in 3 Bologna wins, 2 draws and 0 Lecce wins, and the same side took the points in the home match in Serie A 2025/2026 in a 2-0 victory.
Key Players
- Juan Miranda offers a creative outlet in Bologna's attack, and he has registered 1 assist in 4 Serie A 2026/2027 appearances.
- Lassana Coulibaly is the main spark for Lecce in Serie A 2026/2027, with 2 goals in 5 matches, whilst he has also played a part in 2 of Lecce's last 3 goals.
- Danilo Veiga offers a similar threat from the flanks, although he is also Lecce's most creative player with 2 assists in 5 Serie A 2026/2027 matches, whilst the sharpest finisher for Bologna is Artem Dovbyk, who has also scored 1 goal in 3 appearances.
Betting Insights
- Bologna have scored 0.00 goals per game away from home in Serie A 2026/2027, and a blunt traveling team is unlikely to have much joy against a gritty Lecce side at home.
- Bologna F.C. are slight favourites at 1.9, with Lecce priced at 4.1 and the draw at 3.35.
- Instead, we're going for under 2.5 goals at 1.8, which fits both of these teams' numbers to date, whilst Bologna or draw is a sensible alternative angle.
Prediction
- However, we're not tipping a straight win for Bologna because Lecce have been solid at home and Bologna have been terrible on the road.
- Instead, we're going for under 2.5 goals at 1.8, which fits both of these teams' numbers to date, whilst Bologna or draw is a sensible alternative angle.
