The visiting Napoli team are thought to be odds-on at Lecce, as the away side enjoy a 44 point supremacy from their 28 league games this season.

Insights:
  • Lecce have the fewest matches over the total-line (8) in Serie A
  • Napoli have the most scored goals (64) in Serie A

These are hustling days for the host team, as they had a game only four days ago in the Serie A. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Empoli.

Lecce form and stats

With 2 Serie A wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Lecce are certainly not brimming with confidence. When Lecce hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Atalanta, Roma, Lazio, Milan and Inter), they have won 2 of 5 matches! It's trouble wherever Lecce are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

Blin was the last player to score a league goal for Lecce and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Lecce haven't scored in 466 minutes.

Lecce faced defeat in their previous match, away at Empoli (0-1). Falcone had a busy but productive day in the Empoli match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Fiorentina.

Low on goals? In this team's last 10 league games, 8 have contained two goals or less.

Lecce have conceded 17 in these home matches. When Lecce hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Cremonese, Hellas Verona, Sampdoria, Empoli, Spezia and Salernitana), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 4 of 5 times.

Napoli form and stats

The away performances of Napoli, who have the most scored goals (64) in Serie A, have been very solid so far with 12 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat in the Serie A. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue. Napoli has been amazing away for a time now, winning six in a row on their travels. The last time they went home with a point loss was against Inter.

Home advantage was not enough for Napoli in their previous game as they lost hosting Milan, 0-4. Napoli lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one. Kvaratskhelia, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.42. Kvaratskhelia hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 5 of 8 times and had 29 successful passes (of 30 total).

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Torino at their stadium, the result 4-0.

Take note: 9 of the latest 10 league fixtures involving this club have ended with only one (or no) side scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting terms).

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Napoli are regular goalscorers on their travels. It's not easy to score on Napoli as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

These teams faced each other earlier on this match year: Napoli - Lecce 1-1. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two Lecce victories, two draws and six Napoli wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.
