Lecce vs Empoli Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 28th August 2022
Lecce take on Empoli for a match in the Serie A on Sunday at Stadio Via del Mare. Empoli won 2-1 and 1-0 in the two most recent meetings with Lecce, and go into their upcoming match with a psychological advantage.
Lecce have nothing to show for the first couple of matches in the Serie A and going into this round three they will be eager to get off the mark. Empoli surely would have hoped for more than a single point so far in the Serie A. They will be feeling the pressure of securing a first win of the season.
Their upcoming match is a difficult challenge for Lecce, who next face Empoli in their continuous fight to avoid relegation. They should be highly motivated to spring a surprise, even against a tough opponent like Empoli.
Lecce go into their next Serie A match, averaging a humble 1.5 goals per game in their last ten matches, in which they scored a mundane 15 times, while conceding 18 goals. That amounts to an average of 1.8 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring once.
Empoli average 0.9 goals a game in their last ten outing, scoring a total of nine goals. They conceded an average of 1.6 per game, for a total of 16 goals, whilst keeping their opponents from scoring three times.
Lecce vs Empoli Prediction
A draw was the best Lecce could muster in their previous three games. They claimed a 1-1 draw against Cittadella, before getting trounced 1-2 against Inter. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Sassuolo ran out 1-0 winners. Lecce managed to win two of their past six home matches in the Serie A. In the remaining four, they drew zero and lost four, as they scored 11 and conceded 13 goals.
A battle for survival appears to be on the cards for Lecce as they seek to keep their Serie A status for another term.
Empoli have been a tad mediocre in their last three matches where a win has failed to come their way. Against SPAL 2013, they gained a point in a 1-1 draw, before coming up short against Spezia, who ran out 1-0 winners. Lately, they managed to steal a point in a 0-0 with Fiorentina. Empoli managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Serie A. On top of winning once they also drew zero as well as losing five, while scoring 11 time and letting in four.
A mid-table finish looks like the optimal outcome for Empoli in a season where they aim to keep the relegation line at bay in the Serie A.
