Competition: Italy Serie A
Date: Mon 13.January
Match begins: 19:45 (UTC)
Venue: Ennio Tardini (27906 seats)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Parma are in the 9th position while the guesting Lecce worry at 17th.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Lecce have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Parma form and stats

4 victories, 1 draw and 4 defeats. That’s what Parma have to build on here at Ennio Tardini in the Serie A. Two draws in a row at home now for Parma.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Parma, who played 0-0 against Lecce. That match was also played at this venue (Ennio Tardini). Prior to that, an away loss at Atalanta.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Parma's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won 2 matches, drawn 2 and lost 0.

Parma has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. 10 goals have been conceded.

Lecce form and stats

The visitors are W3-D2-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A.

Lecce are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Parma (placed 9th). The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Udinese.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Lecce playing away, we found two games. Results were 0 away wins, 2 draws and 0 home wins.

Lecce have scored 12 goals on their travels this season, from 9 away games in the league. For Lecce, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

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