SSC Venezia

vs

Lecce

Preview

Venezia

• Venezia have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five games.
• Giovanni Stroppa has overseen Venezia since 1 July 2025 and his side are set up in a 3-5-2 or 3-4-1-2 that has produced some fine results this term.
• They are a wing-back-heavy set up with the ball and their pressing game is designed to get the ball forward quickly via direct vertical passes.
• Venezia have won seven, drawn two and lost just one of their last 10 in all competitions, and they appear to be getting in some sharpness.
• They have averaged 3.80 goals for per home game in all competitions, scoring 19 in Venice, so they have been getting the job done in front of goal.

Lecce

• Eusebio Di Francesco, who took charge on 26 June 2025, prefers a 4-3-3 system which also relies on the width of his wingers to stretch the game as well as plenty of pressing and pace in transition.
• Lecce have also had a positive run of games recently with five wins, three draws and two defeats across their last 10 in all competitions, although the last five have been a little less impressive than Venezia's.
• Their away numbers are also tidy with an average of 1.50 goals scored and 0.75 conceded per game which has kept them in games away from home.
• A run of three wins and a draw from four away trips in all competitions has given Lecce a lot of confidence ahead of this season and they could cause problems for the home side in this opener.
• Lecce have won three, drawn one and lost none of their last four away from home.

Head-to-Head

Betting Insights

• The market has it right with Venezia the 2.32 favorites, although the other two options, Lecce at 3.1 and the draw at 3.15, have some value.
• The tempting option is 'both teams to score' at 1.9, however, which seems a great fit between two sides built to press and hit on the break.
