Lecce are welcoming SPAL for another important game after their 3-2 result against 11th-placed Napoli.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
SPAL have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Lecce form and stats
Lecce's results here at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare in the Serie A have been very modest with 1 victory, 5 draws and 5 defeats.
Happy days for Lecce in their previous game, a Serie A match away at Napoli (placed 11th) that ended with a 3-2 victory. Sensational by Lecce last match, beating Napoli away as big underdogs. Before that game, the 4-0 home victory against Torino.
The victory against Napoli came after Marco Mancosu's winning goal. The Lecce manager F. Liverani was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 75th minute.
The Lecce fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 11 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Lecce defense is not exactly impregnable. 18 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
SPAL form and stats
There's been little loot from SPAL's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 12 away games in the Serie A. SPAL only have 2 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 1 draw. It's a growing despair in SPAL as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
SPAL failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie A home match vs Sassuolo (placed 12th) that ended with defeat 1-2. A 1-5 defeat away at Lazio before that.
It's a bit worrying for SPAL that their goalkeeper Etrit Berisha made seven saves in the Sassuolo game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting SPAL as they have only managed to score 7 times from 12 away games in the league. In the opposite end, SPAL have conceded 22 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was SPAL - Lecce 1-3, played this season. As for the last two games between these two teams, there's one Lecce victory, zero draws and one SPAL win. two of these games ended with three goals or more, zero matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
