Salernitana vs Lecce Prediction

In their previous three matches, Salernitana first drew 1-1 against Bologna, then 2-2 against Empoli before also sharing the points in a 2-2 draw against Juventus. Salernitana only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Serie A matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew two and lost two, as they scored nine and conceded nine goals.

Few people had high hopes on behalf of Salernitana before the season, but current form sees them punching above expectations.

Lecce have been a tad mediocre in their last three matches where a win has failed to come their way. Against SSC Napoli, they gained a point in a 1-1 draw, before coming up short against Torino, who ran out 1-0 winners. Lately, they managed to steal a point in a 1-1 with Monza. Lecce managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Serie A. On top of winning once they also drew one as well as losing four, while scoring nine time and letting in six.

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

Salernitana, as well as Lecce, have been keeping things tight in recent matches with goals few and far between. This suggests a close encounter shy on goals is on the cards this coming Friday.
