Lecce form and stats

Two Serie B home games so far for Lecce, who are yet to win here at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare. Only 2 points so far. Lecce have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

In their previous game, the manager E. Corini led his Lecce to a defeat in the Coppa Italia match away at Torino (after extra-time). The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare. 1-1 away at Cosenza before that.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Lecce at home in the league. 2 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Pescara form and stats

It's not happening yet for Pescara on their Serie B travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? With the Pescara losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Pescara has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Pescara aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 238 league minutes without a goal. F. Maistro was the last player to find the net.

There might be some fixture complaints from Pescara as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Coppa Italia match against Parma (1-3). The game before that, in the Serie B, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Frosinone.

It's early days yet, but Pescara has scored 1 and conceded 7 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

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