Lecce lost two of their last three matches, as they went down 2-0 in a meeting with AC Milan. They replied by beating Udinese 1-0, before losing again, this time 2-1 against Juventus. Lecce only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at Stadio Via del Mare in the Serie A. They also drew two and lost three of these six encounters, in which they scored four and conceded seven goals.

Verona Form

Judging by their last three matches, we can expect a bit of everything from Verona at the moment. Against Bologna, they came out on top in a 2-1 win, before drawing 1-1 against Cremonese. Most recently they were left reeling in a 0-6 defeat win against Inter. In their last six Serie A away matches, Verona failed to win even once. In stead, they've drawn three and lost three, scoring two while also conceding six times.
