Lecce vs Como prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-12-26 14:00.
[p]Lecce continue to hold the relegation zone at bay, but would love to establish a more comfortable gap by beating a Como side who had started to fall off the pace before Christmas.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Lecce picked up a crucial victory in their last outing as they beat fellow Serie A strugglers Pisa 1-0, opening up a four-point gap to the relegation zone heading into the weekend. The Giallorossi are now looking for back-to-back league wins for the first time this term having failed to convert three previous opportunities, twice missing out due to disappointing goalless home draws against Sassuolo and Verona. Consecutive Serie A home wins since then present Lecce with the chance to win three straight top-flight games at Stadio via del Mare for the first time since September 2023 here.[/p]
[p]Como’s immense start to the season is threatening to run out of steam, as they suffered back-to-back defeats without reply in their last two games to fall out of the top six. Solace can be taken from those defeats coming against title chasers Inter Milan (4-0) and Roma (1-0), but manager Cesc Fàbregas will be keen to arrest their slide given that they start this round six points adrift of the top four. A road assignment may not be well timed here then considering that Como have won just one of their last six away league games (D3, L2), with four failures to score therein highlighting where their problems are centred.
