Venezia vs Lecce prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-11-24 19:45.
[p]Venezia and Lecce are separated by a single point and start this round in the relegation places, meaning that even at this early stage, it has the feel of a proverbial âsix-pointerâ. With only two points separating the bottom six sides after 12 matches, a win here could kick-start a move out of the danger zone, and Venezia will look to cash in on their recent form with half of their seasonal points coming from their last four matches (W1, D1, L2), although they did lose the last two.[/p]
[p]Both of their wins this league campaign have come at home, and the Winged Lions will hope they can add to that count with what would be a first-ever top-flight H2H win (D2, L2). A victory would also continue Veneziaâs alternating pattern of results at this venue (W2, L3), a theme which having lost in their last game here, theyâll hope to see continue.[/p]
[p]Lecce secured four points from their three matches prior to the international break (W1, D1, L1) which brought life into their campaign after a run of five consecutive defeats, but it couldnât couldnât prevent a change in the dugout as Marco Giampaolo has replaced Luca Gotti as coach. His immediate task is to improve their scoring record, as their tally (five) is the lowest across the big-five European leagues so far this season.[/p]
[p]Their scoring problems have been particularly pertinent on the road, as the visitors havenât scored in their last seven top-flight away matches, including six this season, which make them the only team yet to score on the road in Serie A. Lecce could now become only the third club in Serie A history to have started an away campaign with seven consecutive scoring blanks although positively, the last two such teams both escaped relegation.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Hans Nicolussi Caviglia scored in Veneziaâs last two home games – his last four scoring club appearances saw the away side on the day score exactly twice. Nikola KrstoviÄ scored a hat-trick for Montenegro in his last match and scored the opening match goal with five of his last eight top-flight strikes.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Four of Lecceâs last six matches, including their last three on the road, saw exactly one goal scored.[/p]
