Betting on Lecce
Lecce is heading into week 34 after losing 2-1 in their last game against Juventus. However, they are still outside the relegation zone and have a four-point margin over the last team in the zone, which happens to be their opponent in this match. So, they know how important this game is for their objectives.
Although they haven’t lost in their last two home games (with one win and one draw), returning to the Stadio Via del Mare doesn’t give Lecce much confidence. They have only earned one more point at home (16) than on the road, and losing 0-1 to Verona in their last home game only increases those negative feelings.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Wladimiro Falcone; Federico Baschirotto, Samuel Umtiti, Simone Romagnoli, Giuseppe Pezzella; Joan Gonzalez, Morten Hjulmand, Alexis Blin; Remi Oudin, Assan Ceesay, Lameck Banda.
Betting on Verona
Verona suffered a devastating 0-6 loss at home against Inter midweek, ending their four-game unbeaten streak in Serie A. Despite having the same number of points (27) as 17th placed Spezia, Verona finds themselves in the relegation zone due to their head-to-head results against Spezia.
For Verona to avoid relegation, they must not only forget about their previous loss and improve their defense, but they must also be more effective in the opposing team’s area. Verona is currently the second-worst offensive team in the league, having only scored 27 goals in 33 games,with only the last-place Sampdoria (20) having scored fewer.
Possible Lineup (3-4-2-1): Lorenzo Montipo; Giangiacomo Magnani, Isak Hien, Pavel Dawidowicz; Fabio Depaoli, Adrien Tameze, Oliver Abildgaard, Darko Lazovic; Yayah Kallon, Simone Verdi; Milan Djuric.
JefeBet Prediction
Despite a poor defensive performance against Inter, Verona hasn’t been doing too bad in recent months, conceding more than one goal in only one of their eight previous matches before that defeat. They could resume that form here against a weak attacking Lecce side.
However, it’s important to remember that the visitors also struggle to be effective in front of the goal, especially away from home, where they have scored only eight goals in 16 matches. Therefore, we expect a highly contested match with both teams having few clear scoring opportunities, resulting in a low-scoring Lecce vs Verona game.
Prediction: Tie and Under (LEC 0-0 VER)
