Lecce vs Hellas Verona Prediction and Betting Tips | October 29th 2024
Lecce and Hellas Verona get the ball rolling in round 10 of Serie A when they lock horns at the Stadio Via del Mare on Tuesday. Luca Gotti’s men are without a win in their last six games against the visitors since September 2019 and will be looking to end this poor five-year streak.
Lecce failed to stop the rot on Saturday as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona courtesy of a second-half strike from Giovanni Di Lorenzo.
Gotti’s side have lost five straight games, including a 2-0 defeat against Sassuolo in the Coppa Italia on September 24, and are without a win in their last seven outings since beating Cagliari 1-0 on August 31.
Lecce are currently rooted to the bottom of the Serie A table with five points from nine games but could move level on points with 16th-placed Monza with a win on Tuesday.
Hellas Verona, on the other hand, were on the receiving end of a 6-1 hammering at the hands of Atalanta when the side squared off at the Gewiss Stadium on Saturday.
Paolo Zanetti’s men have now lost five of their last six matches — conceding 18 goals and scoring eight — with a 2-1 home win over Venezia on October 4 being the exception.
With nine points from nine matches, Verona are currently 15th in the Serie A standings, level on points with Bologna, Como and Cagliari.
