Lecce vs Monza Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 11th September 2022

This will be the first time that Lecce face Monza lately, as the teams have not shared a spot in the same division in this century. Having never played each other in the Serie A in the 21st century, this is the first time Lecce comes up against Monza in this tournament as of late. Thus, any eventual h2h stats stems from meetings in cup matches or friendlies.

The current difference in the Serie A standings between the two teams clashing at Stadio Via del Mare on Sunday is two points.

Both Lecce and Monza came through their most recent matches empty-handed and will be eager to avoid getting defeated once again. Who'll draw first blood at Stadio Via del Mare? We'll find out on Sunday.

Lecce are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They claimed a steady 14 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.4 goals per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents 17 goals, or an average of 1.7 goals a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to zero clean sheets in this run.

Monza average 0.4 goals a game in their last five outing, scoring a total of two goals. They conceded an average of 2.6 per game, for a total of 13 goals, whilst keeping their opponents from scoring zero times.

Lecce vs Monza Prediction

It is neither good nor disastrous for Lecce with just two points from their last three matches. They first drew 1-1 against Empoli, followed by another draw. This time 1-1 against SSC Napoli, before going down in a 1-0 defeat against Torino. In their last six Serie A home matches, Lecce have two wins, while they've drawn one and lost three. They scored 11 and conceded 12 goals.

Lecce were hoping to avoid relegation this season, but their current dismal form has them on course for going down.

Monza were unable to pick up a single point in their last three matches, as they were first beaten 1-2 by Udinese. Next up, Roma won 3-0, before losing 0-2 against Atalanta. Monza didn't manage a single away win in their last six Serie A matches, but managed zero draws, while suffering two defeats. They conceded seven and scored zero goals themselves.

It seems both Monza and Lecce have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues on Sunday, and we are rooting for goals.
