Lazio vs Lecce Predictions
[wptb id=389485]
Lazio’s Champions League Hopes Hang in the Balance
Key Stats
– Lecce are suffering from a five-game losing streak on the road.
– Felipe Anderson have scored three goals in his last five Lazio appearances.
As Lazio prepares to face Lecce at Stadio Olimpico in a pivotal Serie A clash, their Champions League aspirations hinge on securing a victory. With AC Milan hot on their heels, Lazio must maintain their lead in the race for a coveted Champions League spot.
Maurizio Sarri, Lazio’s coach, expressed his concerns following their 2-0 loss to AC Milan, highlighting errors in the build-up phase and Ciro Immobile’s inconsistent form. However, Lecce, plagued by five consecutive away losses, should provide Lazio an opportunity to regain momentum.

Lazio Likely To Get Back To Winning Ways
Historically, Lazio have lost just two of their last six Serie A matches against Lecce, and only one of these losses occurred at Stadio Olimpico. Furthermore, in their 15 Serie A encounters at the Olimpico, Lazio have failed to score only once, averaging 2.5 goals per game against Lecce.
However, Lazio have recently experienced a downturn in form, with three defeats in their last four league matches. They failed to score in their latest Serie A game, and under Sarri’s management, they’ve only gone scoreless in two consecutive matches once before.
Anderson Shoulders Scoring Responsibility Amid Immobile’s Slump
On the other hand, Lecce have struggled in away games against Rome’s two Serie A clubs, winning only twice in 32 attempts. Their away form has been particularly poor, with five consecutive losses in recent Serie A games.
Despite their recent struggles, Lazio remains the team with the highest percentage of players contributing to at least 10 goals in Serie A this season, including Luis Alberto, Felipe Anderson, Ciro Immobile, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, and Mattia Zaccagni.
While Felipe Anderson has stepped up, scoring three goals in his last five appearances, Immobile’s form has waned. Despite this season not being his best, Immobile has managed 10 goals in 27 games and dealt with injuries. As Lazio’s penalty taker, his expected goals (xG) of 11.23 indicate his potential to trouble Lecce’s shaky defense.
Lazio’s solid home record and historical dominance over Lecce, combined with their array of attacking talent, should be enough to secure a solid win over Lecce. A 3-0 Lazio win looks a decent prediction in the correct score market in a match that is likely to be one-sided.
