Lecce form and stats

Overall Serie B stats at home this season for Lecce, who have the most scored goals (23) at home in Serie B, are 3-7-2 (wins-draw-losses).

Lecce are returning here after visiting Cremonese in a Serie B game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Pablo Rodríguez scored the goal(s). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Brescia.

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 Lecce's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played six games, won three matches, drawn two and lost one.

Cosenza form and stats

The visitors are W3-D6-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Serie B. The last three matches for Cosenza have all ended in a draw.

Cosenza's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Reggina that finished 2-2. Before that, Cosenza travelled to Cittadella and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

Cosenza's last match (vs Reggina) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 84th minute equalizer by Mirko Carretta.

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 Cosenza playing away, we found four games. Results were one away win, two draws and one home win.

Cosenza have scored 12 goals on their travels this season, from 11 away games in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (9 so far).
