Lecce

WLWLDL

Lecce will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 0-2 Serie A loss in their previous game against Roma.

In that game, Lecce managed 51% possession and 6 shots at goal with 1 of them on target. Roma got 10 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Evan Ferguson (14') and Artem Dovbyk (71') scored for Roma.

It’s not been often in recent games where Lecce have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Lecce have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 9 goals during that time. That pattern isn’t assured to follow through into this match, though.

A look at their previous results shows us that Lecce:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Parma in their previous 5 games.
• haven’t won at home in the past 2 league games.

Parma

LWLWDL

After being beaten in their last game against Inter Milan in Serie A action, Parma will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that game, Parma had 37% possession and 4 shots at goal with 0 of them on target. Inter Milan got 26 shots on goal with 8 on target. Federico Dimarco (42') and Marcus Thuram (98') scored for Inter Milan.

For 5 of the past 6 games featuring Parma, a notably low volume of goals have gone in between them and opposing teams. The overall average goals scored per game within that period works out to a paltry 1.67, with the number of goals averaged by I Crociati being 0.67.

Pre-game facts show that Parma:

• have not registered a win against Lecce when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league matches.
• are unbeaten in their last 3 away league matches.

↔️ Head to head

Looking over their prior head-to-head meetings dating back to 07/11/2021 shows us that Lecce have won 3 of these and Parma 1, with the number of drawn results standing at 2.

A sum of 19 goals were yielded between them in these games, with 12 of them from Giallorossi and 7 coming from I Crociati. The average number of goals per game works out to 3.17.

That day, Parma managed 63% possession and 10 shots on goal with 2 of them on target.

🗞️ Team News: Lecce

Christian Früchtl (unknown injury), Tete Morente (Heel spur) and Medon Berisha (Hamstring injury) will not be able to play for Lecce gaffer Eusebio Di Francesco. Lassana Coulibaly cannot play in this game through suspension.

It looks as if Giallorossi may well kick off with a 4-3-3 formation and select Wladimiro Falcone, Danilo Veiga, Kialonda Gaspar, Tiago Gabriel, Corrie Ndaba, Mohamed Kaba, Ylber Ramadani, Youssef Maleh, Santiago Pierotti, Nikola Stulic and Lameck Banda.

🗞️ Team News: Parma

We reckon that I Crociati seem most likely to elect for a 4-3-3 lineup, giving starts to Edoardo Corvi, Enrico Del Prato, Alessandro Circati, Lautaro Valenti, Emanuele Valeri, Adrian Bernabe, Mandela Keita, Oliver Soerensen, Gaetano Oristanio, Mateo Pellegrino and Jacob Ondrejka.

💭 Prediction

We’re of the view that Parma and Lecce should both be able to find the back of the net here although it’s difficult to select a clear winner.

Let’s see how this one goes, but it looks this could be a draw. That is why we are leaning toward a tight encounter, finishing with a 1-1 scoreline when the referee blows the full-time whistle.
