Betting on Lazio
Despite their defeat in the last matchday, Lazio still has everything in their hands to finish within the top four positions that would allow them to play in the Champions League next season.
Despite suffering three defeats in their last four games, Lazio is still holding onto third place in the standings with 64 points, three points ahead of fifth-placed Milan. Furthermore, of the four remaining games on their schedule, three are against teams in the lower half of the table, and two of those will be played at home.
This Friday’s match against Lecce will be one of those home games for Lazio. They have been solid at home this season, with only four defeats in 17 games and conceding just 14 goals during that period.
However, Maurizio Sarri’s men need to improve their finishing in front of goal. After going nine games without a loss, Lazio has suffered three defeats in their last four games, scoring only three goals in those matches.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Ivan Provedel; Elseid Hysaj, Nicolo Casale, Alessio Romagnoli, Adam Marusic; Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Danilo Cataldi, Luis Alberto; Felipe Anderson, Ciro Immobile, Mattia Zaccagni.
Betting on Lecce

While Lecce’s defense has been solid, their attack has struggled to find the back of the net. With only 28 goals scored, and just four of them coming in their last 11 games, they are tied for second place in the league for the fewest goals scored this season.
Furthermore, Lecce’s away form has been poor, as they have lost their last five away games and have only scored 12 goals in 17 away matches.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Wladimiro Falcone; Federico Baschirotto, Samuel Umtiti, Antonino Gallo, Giuseppe Pezzella; Remi Oudin, Morten Hjulmand, Alexis Blin; Federico Di Francesco, Assan Ceesay, Lameck Banda.
JefeBet Prediction
Lazio shouldn’t have too many problems coming out on top in this match and consolidating their position in the Champions League places. However, don’t expect a high-scoring game on Friday.
The Roman team has been rather poor in front offensively and Lecce has a good defense. In fact, in the entire campaign, no team has scored more than two goals in a game, which is noteworthy for a Lazio team has struggled to score goals lately.
In fact, no team has scored more than two goals against Lecce this season, which is impressive for a newly-promoted team. On the other hand, Lecce‘s attack has struggled, and they resemble a team fighting for relegation. They are one of the worst teams in the league in terms of goal scoring, and they will be facing the second-best defense in Serie A.
Having said that, it’s a good opportunity to head over to DraftKings and bet on the Under 2.5 goals, which has a line of (-160) and could earn you $63 for every $100 you bet. team.
Prediction: Under (LAZ 2 – LEC 0).
