Lecce have delivered well so far this season, being 5th place in the table. Cosenza can look both up and down the table from the 11th place.

Insights:
  • Lecce have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Cosenza have yet to win a game away.

Not a lot of time to rest for the hosting team, as they were involved in a Serie B fixture only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Brescia.

2 victories, 2 draws and 0 defeats. That’s what Lecce have to build on here at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare in the Serie B. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Lecce.

Lecce travelled for their previous game, a trip to Brescia that ended 1-1. Kastriot Dermaku was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Brescia after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

Strefezza hit the woodwork once, hit three key passes and had 19 successful passes (of 22 total).

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Perugia.

Cosenza form and stats

Playing away, Cosenza have won 0 games, drawn 1 and suffered 4 defeats in the Serie B this season. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Cosenza are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

The supporters enjoyed Cosenza's previous game versus Ternana (placed 14th), a Serie B 3-1 win played at home. Goalkeeper Mauro Vigorito was absolutely vital in the Cosenza victory against Ternana, making six saves. The attacker Gabriele Gori got a match rating of 8.55 in that game. Gori scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Benevento wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

You'll want to know how Cosenza managed when outsiders such as today. Our database found five similar matches resulting in one away win, one draw and three home wins.

A quick return to home after this game, as Cosenza are hosting Reggina in the Serie B only four days away.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Cosenza's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 5 matches. The Cosenza manager M. Zaffaroni has some worries about the defense as 11 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: five - four - one (Lecce wins - draws - Cosenza wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.
