Spezia vs Lecce Prediction
Spezia Form
Spezia go into their upcoming match unbeaten in their previous three matches, which started off with a 1-1 draw against Udinese. They went on to beat Verona 1-2, before sharing the spoils with Atalanta in a 2-2 draw. Spezia only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at Stadio Alberto Picco in the Serie A. They also drew four and lost one of these six encounters, in which they scored ten and conceded ten goals.
They were hoping to avoid a relegation-battle this Serie A campaign, but current dismal form sees Spezia on course for the drop.
Lecce Form
Lecce are in awesome shape going into this next encounter, as they won their last three matches on the bounce. Atalanta got left behind in a 2-1 win, before Sampdoria got hammered in a 0-2 victory. Lazio was the most recent victim in a 2-1 win for Lecce. Lecce claimed two wins against one draw and three defeats in their last six away matches in the Serie A. The scoreline from these matches reads seven goals conceded and six scored.
Lecce looked destined for a season fighting off relegation, but current form has them no way near the drop zone in the Serie A.
Spezia look a little out of sorts and confidence could be vital to which way this encounter turns out. With the home side short on confidence, Lecce is the value bet.
Lecce recorded one wins from their last four games against teams placed in the bottom six and collected five points. They scored four goals while conceding three. Spezia so far pulled off a record of three wins, five draws and eight defeats in the Serie A this season. Lecce have four wins, six draws and six defeats in the Serie A.
