Hellas Verona vs Lecce Prediction and Betting Tips | November 27th 2023

Two sides who could do well with a win square off in round 13 of the Italian Serie A as Hellas Verona play hosts to Lecce at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on Monday.

Marco Baroni’s side head into the game on a run of six consecutive defeats, while the visitors have failed to win their last eight matches across all competitions. Hellas Verona failed to stop the rot as they suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Genoa in their last outing before the international break.

Baroni’s men have now lost each of their last six matches across all competitions, including a 2-0 defeat against Bologna in the Coppa Italia on October 31. With eight points from 12 matches, Verona are currently bottom but one in the Serie A table, only above last-placed Salernitana on goal difference.

Lecce, on the other hand, turned in a resilient team performance last time out as they fought back from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 draw against AC Milan. However, Roberto D'Aversa’s men have now gone eight straight games without a win across all competitions, claiming three draws and losing five since September’s 1-0 victory over Genoa.

With 14 points from 12 matches, Lecce are currently 14th in the league standings, level on points with 13th-placed Genoa.
