Como vs Lecce prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-12-29 17:30.
[p]Ahead of the last round of fixtures in 2024, Como still have just three league wins and sit just a point above the relegation zone in the Serie A table, though that’s a position they’ll likely be satisfied with in their first season back in the top-flight. A large part of the relative success tasted by Cesc Fà bregas’ side to date has come through resilience on home soil, being beaten just twice at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia so far this term (W2, D3).[/p]
[p]Winning their most recent home game against Roma (2-0), Como now have the chance to record consecutive home victories in Serie A for the first time since November 1988, and on that occasion, the second success eerily came against Monday’s opponents Lecce! That win is one of four previous Serie A H2Hs between the pair in which Como have gone unbeaten (W3, D1) – never facing an opponent more often in the top-flight without tasting defeat.[/p]
[p]Lecce are also fighting to keep their heads above water in their third successive campaign in Serie A, and head into this clash a point better off than Como. Following a dreadful start to the season which saw Luca Gotti sacked after just two wins in 12 league games (D3, L7), the Giallorossi have won two of their five games since his departure (D1, L2), scoring in every match during that sequence.[/p]
[p]The first game under Marco Giampaolo saw Lecce beat Venezia on the road (1-0), with that their only victory away from home this term (D1, L6). The win also saw them end a dismal run of 13 Serie A games held on a Monday without tasting success (D6, L7), and more Monday magic in Como would open up some welcome breathing space between themselves and the relegation zone ahead of the New Year.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Como will become the fourth different club Edoardo Goldaniga has played against Lecce for – he’s won both personal home H2Hs to date. Something will have to give here though, as Lecce’s Federico Baschirotto remains unbeaten in his three H2Hs with Como (W2, D1), helping his side keep a clean sheet on his only previous visit to the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Lecce have scored just two away goals all season, making them Serie A’s lowest scorers on the road.[/p]
