Lecce vs Bologna Prediction

Lecce Form

Lecce went through their last three matches undefeated, but started by drawing 2-2 with Lazio. Another draw followed, this time 0-0 against Spezia, before they beat Monza by 0-1. Lecce claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Serie A, which also saw them drawing two and losing three matches, in which they scored three and conceded six goals.

Lecce are closer to the relegation zone than they would have wished for at this late stage of the season. They are still capable of pulling clear though and securing another season in the top flight.

Bologna Form

Bologna are unbeaten in their last three matches, which began with a 0-0 draw against Roma. Then, they took out Cremonese 1-5, followed by a 2-2 draw with SSC Napoli. In their last six away matches in the Serie A, Bologna won twice, while also recording two draws. They endured two defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying nine goals conceded and 12 scored.

Both Lecce and visitors Bologna seem to struggle just a wee bit much right now, with keeping a clean sheet. We go out on a limb here and suggest that, both teams will find the back of the net.

Bologna recorded 18 points following four wins from their last 11 games against teams placed among the bottom six. They scored 20 goals, but also conceded 12. Lecce have a record of eight wins, 12 draws and 17 defeats in the Serie A this season. Bologna so far pulled off 13 wins, 12 draws and 12 defeats in the Serie A.
