Inter vs Lecce Prediction

Inter Form

In their last three matches, Inter beat Udinese by 3-1 and FC Porto by 1-0, before losing against Bologna by 1-0. Inter have been in potent form at Giuseppe Meazza, winning no less than five of the past six Serie A matches here. They also hammered in 12 goals, while letting in three as they also lost once.

Lecce Form

Lecce added four points to their collection in their last three matches, which began with a 1-1 draw with Roma. A 1-2 win against Atalanta followed, before a 0-1 defeat against Sassuolo in their most recent match. Lecce won half their previous six away matches in the Serie A, as well as seeing two draws and suffering one defeat. They scored seven goals whilst conceding four.

We fully expect Inter to claim a win against Lecce, but we believe the visitors have enough resistance in them to minimize the expected defeat.

Inter took 29 points from their last 12 encounters with teams from the bottom half of the Serie A table. This amounts to nine wins after scoring 24 times and conceding ten. Lecce claimed three wins and 12 points in their last eight games against teams from the top six. They scored 12 times in these matches, but also conceded 11 goals. Inter are looking at a record of 15 wins, two draws and seven defeats in the Serie A this season. Lecce so far pulled off six wins, nine draws and nine defeats in the Serie A.
