Lecce vs Lazio Prediction and Betting Tips | January 4th 2023
Lecce will welcome Lazio to the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare on Wednesday as they resume their Serie A campaign following the international break.
The hosts have seen an uptick in form in their recent games and are undefeated in three, recording two wins in that period. Lecce recorded an impressive 2-0 away win over Sampdoria last time around, thanks to goals from Lorenzo Colombo and Lameck Banda.
Lazio suffered their second defeat in four Serie A games in their previous outing against fierce rivals Juventus, who recorded a 3-0 win at home. They might drop out of the top four in the league table if they drop points in this match and will be looking to return to winning ways.

Lecce vs Lazio Prediction
The Giallorossi have failed to keep a clean sheet at home in Serie A this term and are likely to concede a goal in this match as well. They have just one win to their name in home games this season and might struggle here.
The Biancocelesti have scored at least two goals in three of their last five away games and are likely to score a goal here. They have also found the back of the net in their last nine games against the hosts and that bodes well for their chances in this encounter.
Considering the current form and recent history between the two teams, we expect the game to be closely contested, but Lazio should be able to eke out a narrow win.
