It's quite the trip for Vicenza when visiting Lecce as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.

These are hectic days for the host team, as they played only four days ago in the Coppa Italia. That game was an away game at Spezia, so at least Lecce are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Vicenza form and stats

There's been little loot from Vicenza's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 9 away games in the Serie B. Vicenza only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 0 draws. Recent form does not give Vicenza much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Lecce will be a tough nut to crack.

Vicenza aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 182 league minutes without a goal. Dalmonte was the last player to find the net.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie B home defeat versus Como with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Midfielder Giacomelli was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.41. Giacomelli hit six key passes.

A 0-1 defeat away at Perugia before that.

Vicenza find the net regularly in their away games. 9 goals from 9 away fixtures in the league. In the opposite end, Vicenza have conceded 17 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Lecce-Vicenza H2H statistics last nine meetings regardless of arena: Lecce seven wins, Vicenza one win, one draw. five of these nine matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
