Lazio vs Lecce Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 12th May 2023

Lazio are out to consolidate their place inside the top four of the Serie A table, when stepping up against Lecce for a match on Friday. Lecce no doubt have a surprise in mind, but a win for Lazio nevertheless seems the likely outcome.

Lazio are third in the Serie A standings after collecting 64 points from their initial 34 encounters. Lecce trail them on 31 points after 34 rounds, leaving them as number 16 in the table.

Three points for Lecce could go a long way in their quest to reach the top half of the Serie A table. A difficult task awaits, though, as Lazio won't go down without a fight.

Lazio only average a modest 1.2 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 12 goals. They also conceded seven for an average of 0.7 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring six times.

Lecce average 0.4 goals a game in their last ten outings, scoring a total of four goals. They conceded an average of 1.4 per game, for a total of 14 goals, whilst keeping their opponents from scoring once.

Lecce celebrated a 2-1 win as well as a 2-1 victory in the last two matches played against Lazio.

Lazio vs Lecce Prediction

Lazio Form

Lazio are currently performing inconsistently, as they lost against Inter by a 3-1 score, before winning 2-0 against Sassuolo. They were back on the losing side in a 2-0 defeat against AC Milan. Lazio managed a strong return of four wins from their previous six matches on home soil in the Serie A. They drew none though, while losing twice in this series. They scored six goals and conceded four times.

Lazio targeted a place inside the top six before the Serie A season. However, ranked inside the top three, they are dreaming of medals after a great campaign.

Lecce Form

Lecce have only one win in their last three matches, as they did beat Udinese by 1-0. Disappointment followed, going down 2-1 against Juventus, and 0-1 against Verona. In their last six Serie A away matches, Lecce failed to win more than once. In stead, they've drawn zero and lost five, scoring three while also conceding nine times.

Many people had Lecce down as candidates for the drop before the season, but rescue is still within reach, as the season nears its end.

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

Lazio took 32 points from their last 16 encounters with teams from the bottom half of the Serie A table. This amounts to nine wins after scoring 28 times and conceding ten. Lecce won three and claimed 11 points in their 11 most recent games against teams inside the top six. They scored 12 conceded 17 goals. Lazio so far pulled off a record of 19 wins, seven draws and eight defeats in the Serie A this season. Lecce are looking at seven wins, ten draws and 17 defeats in the Serie A.
