- Lecce have the fewest clean sheets (0) at home in Serie A
- Sampdoria have the fewest scored goals (18) in Serie A
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1000 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Lecce form and stats
Lecce's struggle is real here at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare with only 12 points collected from 14 Serie A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-6-6. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Lecce with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Atalanta game, 55 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Lecce experienced an unpredictable loss 1-2 against Napoli in their previous outing, also a home game. The striker Francesco won the honour of being "man of the match" for Lecce with a rating of 7.54/10. Francesco scored one goal, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Empoli (0-1).The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Lecce handle that role? We have found 11 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are 4 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats.
On the other hand, Lecce have conceded 19 goals. Lecce has at home met teams with this table position (low), three times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.
Sampdoria form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sampdoria so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-10 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Sampdoria's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Sampdoria might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Cremonese proved too strong as Sampdoria slumped to a 2-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris. Late heartbreak for Sampdoria in the Cremonese match, as the deciding 2-3 goal came deep into overtime. Augello, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.8. Augello signed up for two assists, hit two key passes and won 5 of 9 duels.
Prior to that match, the Sampdoria manager Stankovic faced defeat when travelling to Roma and losing 0-3.We have checked recent matches where Sampdoria have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 4 games were 1 victory, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
The attacking power of Sampdoria when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 14 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
This isn't the first time these two sides meet this season, as the statistics show this recent fixture: Sampdoria - Lecce 0-2. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Lecce three wins, one draw and Sampdoria six victories. As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less. The matches between these teams sometimes lean towards being rough and physical, having seen 6 red cards from the last ten encounters.
