Lecce form and stats

There's been little loot from Lecce's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 9 away games in the Serie A. Lecce only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws.

Lecce delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Milan (placed 2nd) in their previous match. It looked so good for Lecce vs Milan, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw. Hjulmand got a match rating of 7.41 in that game, top player of the team. Hjulmand served one assist and hit one key pass.

A 0-0 draw at Spezia's stadium before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Lecce playing away and similar expectations, we found 12 relevant matches. Results were 4 Lecce wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Lecce as they have only managed to score 7 times from 9 away games in the league.
