Lazio vs Lecce prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-11-22 17:00.
[p]Sitting in opposite halves of the Serie A table, Lazio and Lecce meet this weekend with both teams searching for positive consistency in their results.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Lazio went into the break following a 2-0 loss to Inter Milan that ended a six-game unbeaten run (W3, D3). It was their sixth goalless performance of the Serie A season, and with no other team producing more scoreless outings in the first 11 rounds, there’s no second guessing why they haven’t been able to break into the European qualification spots. Their scoring struggles have nullified the output of a defensive unit that has kept six clean sheets, including in each of their last two home outings, and extending that run could not only push them up the table but it would also see them record three consecutive home league wins to nil for the first time since October 2015.[/p]
[p]Lecce’s goalless draw with Verona prior to the break left them three points ahead of the relegation zone, but clean sheets in each of their last two fixtures (W1, D1) gives them the opportunity to register three consecutive shutouts in a single top-flight season for the first time since March 2004. This promises to be a much more difficult task, and one they may struggle with given they have lost five of seven league matches against teams that spent the break above them in the table (D2). Hitting the road could be the antidote to that, as seven of their ten league points came on the road following a 1-0 win over Fiorentina in their last away trip, so they shouldn’t fear having to travel here.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Lecce have ten Serie A wins over Lazio (D7, L19) and only against two other sides have they recorded more victories in this competition. They won 1-0 here in May which gives the visitors a chance to post consecutive top-flight away H2H wins for the first time ever.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Only one of Lazio’s last 12 league games saw both teams score.[/p]

[p]Lecce scored exactly once in eight of their last ten away Serie A matches.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]A goal from Mattia Zaccagni could be a good omen as Lazio won his last 11 Serie A goalscoring appearances, including three this season. Riccardo Sottil could make an early impact as seven of his nine career Serie A goals came in the first half, including in a 1-0 away win for Lecce over Parma in October.[/p]
[p]Neither Lazio nor Lecce seem to have any new major injury concerns. [/p]
