Lecce and Vicenza have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Serie B.

Insights:
  • Lecce has the most scored goals (27) in Serie B
  • Vicenza have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Vicenza have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Lecce form and stats

Lecce, who have the most scored goals (27) in Serie B, have collected 10 points from their Serie B home games so far after 2-4-1.

M. Mancosu was the last player to score a league goal for Lecce and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Lecce haven't scored in 217 minutes.

In their previous game, the manager S. Lanna led his Lecce to a defeat in the Serie B match away at SPAL. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare. Before that game, the home loss against Pisa with the scoreline 0-3.

Lecce are traveling soon after this match as the Serie B match at Cittadella awaits in three days.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (16 in 7 games), Lecce's attacking play is working. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Lecce defense is not exactly impregnable. 11 goals conceded from 7 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
