Lecce
- Lecce and Cremonese are level on 24 points after 27 games, in 18th and 17th position respectively.
- Lecce are winless in their last two matches, Cremonese have lost both of their last two.
- Just like their opponents on Sunday afternoon, Lecce have failed to win their last two Serie A games, with the 0-2 loss at home to Inter followed up by a 3-1 defeat away to Como, with both defeats leaving the club facing a very real chance of relegation.
- Their home record of three wins, four draws and seven losses from 14 games in Serie A 2025/2026 is not great, but they score an average of just 0.64 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.29.
Cremonese
- Cremonese have also lost their last two games, going down 3-0 to Roma before losing 2-0 to AC Milan.
- Federico Bonazzoli is the top scorer for Cremonese with five goals in 24 Serie A appearances, and Davide Nicola’s side lack the firepower to threaten any team in this league.
- Nicola’s strategy is pragmatic and his team are organised in a 3-5-2 system that is compact and should allow them to disrupt Lecce’s play in the wide areas.
- However, Cremonese have not won their last two away games, and their overall away record is pretty poor for a relegation-threatened side.
Key Players
- Lameck Banda has been Lecce’s main threat in the attack, with the Zambian forward top-scoring in Serie A for the club this season with three goals in 21 appearances.
- Omri Gandelman has started to chip in of late, scoring two of Lecce’s last five and providing a good foothold in midfield for the host’s 4-2-3-1 system.
- Federico Bonazzoli is the top scorer for Cremonese with five goals in 24 Serie A appearances.
Betting Insights
Lecce to take the points at 2.12 , Under 2.5 goals at 1.48 and ‘Both teams to score - No’ at 1.65 are the selections for Sunday’s game, as this should be a tight match with very little to separate the teams.
Prediction
As the home side, Lecce are more inclined to play with a higher tempo and press their visitors, so they are more likely to be the winners in this matchup, particularly because of the stakes involved in the relegation fight.
