Lazio
- Lazio are ninth in the Serie A table on 28 points from 21 games.
- Lazio are unbeaten in two away matches, winning one and drawing the other.
- Lazio returned to form last weekend when they claimed a 1-0 away win over Hellas Verona, but then suffered a heavy 3-0 home defeat to Como in their most recent match, which will have dampened the mood at Sarri’s recent return to the club.
- Sarri has instilled his possession-based system at the club, but it’s been difficult to come by the results.
Lecce
- Lecce are 18th on 17.
- Lecce are a more pragmatic unit, preferring to organise their players into a compact midfield block and look to break at pace rather than try to dominate possession and create.
- Eusebio Di Francesco has had a difficult time since taking the job in June 2025, with the team having lost both of their last two Serie A home games.
Head-to-Head
The head-to-head record suggests Lazio are favourites, but they will have to work hard for their result against a determined and well-organised Lecce side.
Key Players
- The only player to score more than once in Serie A for Lecce this season is Konan N’Dri, and his tally is just two goals in 15 games.
- In comparison, Lazio’s top scorer is Matteo Cancellieri with three in 14.
Betting Insights
- The odds for this matchup reflect the respective league positions and recent form, with Lazio 2.0 favourites, Lecce 4.1 underdogs and a draw at 3.1.
- The Under 2.5 Goals market is as short as 1.5 and that reflects the lack of quality in both of these sides’ attacking thirds.
- Lecce have conceded 15 goals in 11 Serie A matches this season, an average of 1.36 per game, while Lazio have conceded just seven in 10 games away from home, an average of 0.70.
Prediction
- We feel Lazio can edge this game, but we’re going to take the favourite option in the goals market as this looks a good option.
- We’re expecting another cagey game with a fine result separating the two sides.
