Pordenone form and stats

Pordenone have collected 12 points from their Serie B home games so far after 2-6-1. Pordenone has recorded two wins in a row here at Stadio Comunale G.Teghil, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

The Pordenone goalkeeper Samuele Perisan is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 366 minutes without conceding a goal in the Serie B.

Pordenone drew their last game, 0-0 away at Cosenza (placed 17th). Before that, Pordenone had a home game versus Venezia which ended with a victory 2-0.

A painful moment in the game against Cosenza was the missed penalty kick from Davide Diaw in the 23rd minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

This is expected to be a close game, with Pordenone perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Pordenone as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Pordenone has won six of these, drawn five and lost two.

The Pordenone fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 14 goals in 9 league matches. Pordenone have conceded 10 in these home matches.

Lecce's last game was the home draw against Empoli (2-2). Preceding that game was the away victory against Reggina with the score of 1-0.

Lecce's last match (vs Empoli) 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 90th minute equalizer by Pablo Rodríguez. The draw against Empoli came from a losing position. The Lecce manager S. Lanna brought on Pablo Rodríguez as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.
