Lecce
Bologna
One of the Sunday matches in the 24th round of the Italian championship will take place at the Via del Mare Stadium, where Lecce will host Bologna. Here's a betting suggestion on goals in this match with promising odds for success.
Match Preview
Under Marco Giampaolo's guidance, Lecce secured an important victory in the previous round, defeating Parma 3-1 away. This triumph marked the club's second win in their last four Serie A matches, following two consecutive heavy defeats. Notably, this was only the fourth time this season that Lecce scored more than one goal in a game. After this win, the team climbed to 14th place in the standings with 23 points.
Despite the positive result, Lecce continues to struggle with scoring: their 18 goals place them last in Serie A in this regard. At home, the team also lacks consistency, failing to win 5 of their last 6 matches on their turf (3 draws and 2 losses).
The "Red and Blues" remain consistent, having secured a 2-0 victory at home against Como in the last round. This result extended their unbeaten run in the league to five matches, during which they recorded 2 wins and 3 draws. Impressively, the team has scored at least two goals in six of their last seven Serie A matches, highlighting their strong attacking form.
With 37 points, Bologna sits in seventh place in the standings, five points away from the top four, with a game in hand. The club's strong away form is also noteworthy: they have avoided defeat in 9 of their last 10 away Serie A matches (4 wins and 5 draws), making them a formidable force on the road.
