Lecce will welcome Monza to the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare in a mid-table Serie A clash on Sunday.

Valentin Gendrey and Patrick Dorgu scored in quick succession in the first half while on-loan striker Roberto Piccoli extended their lead to three goals in the 61st minute.

The visitors have seen a drop in form recently and are winless in their last four league games, suffering three losses. In their previous outing, they suffered a 2-1 home loss to Atalanta, with substitute Daniel Maldini scoring a consolation goal for them in the 89th minute.

The visitors are in 11th place in the league table with 43 points and have an eight-point lead over the hosts, who are in 13th place.

Lecce vs Monza Prediction

The Lupi have registered back-to-back wins in Serie A for the first time this season and will look to make it three wins on the trot. They kept clean sheets in these wins as well and will look to build on their defensive form. They have suffered just one loss since the appointment of Luca Gotti as the manager.

Interestingly, they have failed to score in four of their last six home games in Serie A. They have seen fewer than 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last eight home meetings against the visitors, with four games in that period ending in draws.

The Brianzoli are winless in their last four league outings, suffering three defeats while failing to score twice. Nonetheless, they have suffered just one loss in their last five away games and will look to build on that form.

Seventeen of the last 18 meetings between the two teams have produced fewer than 2.5 goals, so this match is expected to be a low-scoring affair.

Considering the contrast in form between the two teams, Lecce are expected to eke out a narrow win and the odds of a clean sheet also look good.

Prediction: Lecce 1-0 Monza
