Lecce form and stats

2-2-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Lecce, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Serie A, in their Serie A matches away. Sharing is caring, but Lecce are perhaps overdoing it with their four draws in a row. Visiting Lecce has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

Lecce delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Sassuolo (placed 11th) in their previous match; a Serie A game. Before that, Lecce travelled to Sampdoria and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Lecce's match history for similar games we find two matches. The home team won 2 of these as expected, 2 of them by at least two goals. Lecce managed 0 draws and 0 surprise wins.

The travelling fans enjoy Lecce's attacking play in away games, having scored 9 goals in 6 league matches away. Lecce have conceded 12 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: 4 wins for Lazio, 3 draws and 1 win for Lecce. Over 2,5 goals: 3 times; under 2,5 goals: 5 games.
