The Italian Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Lecce play host to Hellas Verona on Saturday. Paolo Zanetti’s men will be aiming to secure their first win of the league campaign and we expect them to go all out at the Stadio Via del Mare.
Albanian midfielder Medon Berisha netted his second league goal of the season last Sunday to hand Lecce a 1-0 victory over Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
Eusebio Di Francesco’s side had failed to win eight of their previous nine Serie A matches, losing five and claiming three draws while conceding 14 goals and scoring seven in that time.
Lecce have picked up nine points from their nine Serie A matches so far to sit 15th in the league standings, level on points with 14th-placed Cagliari.
Elsewhere, Hellas Verona were left spitting feathers last time out when they fell to a 2-1 loss against Inter Milan after Martin Frese netted an own goal in the 93rd minute to hand the Nerazzurri all three points.
Zanetti’s men are one of just three sides yet to taste victory in Serie A this season, losing five and picking up five draws from their 10 matches so far. With just five points from the first 30 available, Hellas Verona are currently 19th in the Serie A table, just one point above rock-bottom Fiorentina.
Lecce vs Hellas Verona Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- Hellas Verona hold just about the upper hand in the history of this fixture, having won seven of the last 20 meetings between the two teams.
- Lecce have picked up one fewer win in that time, while the spoils have been shared on seven occasions.
- Hellas Verona currently hold the second-worst attacking record in Serie A this season, having scored just six goals in their 10 games so far.
- Lecce are yet to taste victory at home in the league this season, losing three and picking up two draws from their five matches.
Lecce vs Hellas Verona Prediction
It has been an underwhelming start to the season for Hellas Verona, who will be looking to find their feet and turn a corner in the league.
Lecce, meanwhile, have struggled to impose themselves on home turf, but we predict they will continue from where they left off against Fiorentina to secure all three points against the floundering visitors.
Prediction: Lecce 1-0 Hellas Verona
