Lecce vs Salernitana: predictions and betting tips on the Serie A match on January 27, 2023



On January 27, Via del Mare Stadium (Lecce) will host the match of the 20th round of the Serie A, in which Lecce will compete with Salernitana. The battle will start at 20:45 CET.
Lecce
The club has already moved up to the Serie A a couple of years ago. At that time, having climbed into the elite division and managed to show good football there, the team was relegated in the end of the following spring. Nowadays, being under the rule of Marco Baroni, it seems to be much better. “The Yellow and Reds” take the points in a pretty active way. Even a hard start, 2 defeats and 6 matches without any win, did not break the spirit of the players. Moreover, having defeated Salernitana with a 2-1 score, there had not been any successes by November. The end of the autumn brought a couple of important victories, over Atalanta and Sampdoria, and after New Year it did a lot to get a 2-1 win in the struggle with Lazio. Dividing the points with Spezia and even with Milan, the team achieved a comfortable lead over the top three outsiders. Perhaps the higher mentioned fact made a relaxing effect: the game of the previous round with Verona, which is one of the underdogs, ended with a 0-2 defeat for Lecce.
Salernitana
The team has recently gone through a curious “shake-up”. It lost to Atalanta with an enormous 2-8 score, and the management reacted to the event by firing Davide Nicola. Still, the specialist was returned to his position in two days. On the one hand, the coach proved one more time to be a real rescuer of outsiders, and, having come in the course of the previous season, he retained the “registration” of “the Seahorses”, overcoming the fact that the newcomer had been considered to be one of the weakest teams of the Calcio. Moreover, being under the rule of the coach, the club started to get a pretty good number of the points in the new championship. On the other hand, among five rounds one can find four humiliating defeats and a draw in the match with Torino – that is a real reason for the resignation. The game with Napoli resulted in a new defeat, this time with a 0-2 score, but, to tell the truth, everyone had expected the same.
The statistics of head-to-head matches
Lecce has been unbeaten in 6 previous head-to-head matches. This season, having met once again in the Serie A, “the Yellow and Reds” got an away 2-1 victory.
Predictions
Bookmakers do not believe that Lecce will make the second misfire in a row, taking into account that the opponent is very weak. We bet that this time the newcomer of the division will be able to win the battle (odd: 1.94).
