Lecce form and stats

The visitors, who have the most conceded goals (56) in Serie A, are W4-D2-L7 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A.

Home advantage was not enough for Lecce in their previous game, as they lost their Serie A-match, hosting Atalanta, 2-7. A 0-4 defeat away at Roma before that.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Atalanta was particularly ugly (2-7). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Lecce find the net regularly in their away games. 15 goals from 13 away fixtures in the league. Lecce have conceded 30 goals in these games.
