Parma vs Lecce prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – January 31, 2025
One of the matches of the 23rd round of the Italian Championship will take place on Friday at the Ennio Tardini Stadium, where Parma will host Lecce. We suggest a bet on goals in this match with good chances of success.
Match Preview
Parma continues to struggle in Serie A. In the last round, Fabio Pecchia's team suffered a dramatic defeat against Milan (2-3), conceding twice in stoppage time. This marked their fourth consecutive match without a win (2 draws, 2 losses) and the seventh time this season they have conceded at least three goals. In the standings, the club sits in 16th place, ahead of Lecce and Verona only on goal difference.
At home, Parma has been inconsistent—failing to win 7 of their last 9 matches (2 draws, 5 losses). However, their attacking style produces results: in 19 home matches in Serie A, they have only failed to score once.
Lecce's struggles in Serie A continue. In the previous round, Marco Giampaolo’s team suffered a heavy 0-4 defeat against Inter, marking their second consecutive heavy loss and sixth of the season. Moreover, this was their 11th match in which they failed to score. With just 15 goals, Lecce is the lowest-scoring team in the league and sits in the relegation zone in 18th place with 20 points.
Their away form is also disappointing—winless in 11 of their last 13 matches (3 draws, 8 losses). However, in five of their last six away games, Lecce has found the net, scoring six goals. Defensive stability remains an issue, though, as they have conceded in 8 of their last 9 away matches.
