Perugia will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 12 points behind Lecce.
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!
Perugia form and stats
Perugia have played 15 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 8-1-6 (wins-draws-losses).The home team returns to Stadio Renato Curi after sharing the points with Pescara on their last time out; the Serie B game ended 1-1. Ahead of that match, Perugia lost 2-4 at home to Benevento.
This is expected to be a close game, with Perugia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Perugia as a small favourite), we find eight games. Perugia has won 1 of these, drawn 2 and lost 5.
A decent goal production from Perugia in their home games so far, with 24 goals from 15 matches. 19 goals have been conceded.
Lecce form and stats
As the visiting team Lecce have produced an overall stat of 5-5-6 so far.Lecce are travelling after their nice 4-1 home win in the Serie B against Carpi. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Cremonese wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Lecce playing away and similar expectations, we found 48 relevant matches. Results were 18 Lecce wins, 15 draws and 15 defeats.
The travelling fans enjoy Lecce's attacking play in away games, having scored 25 goals in 16 away matches. In the opposite end, Lecce have conceded 27 goals in their away games.
