US Lecce vs Lazio – Prediction, and Match Preview
Lecce vs Lazio – Lazio travels to the south to face Lecce in their opening Serie A match on Sunday night at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare.
Last season, I Biancocelesti had one of their best top-flight seasons in a while, finishing second and making the UEFA Champions League group stages.
The troops under Maurizio Sarri go into the next campaign with similar goals and a theoretically stronger team.
The lone notable departure is Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, while the arrivals column is filled with notable names, including Taty Castellanos, Gustav Isaksen, Matteo Cancilieri, Diego Gonzalez, and Daichi Kamada.
In the preseason, Sarri’s team struggled after losses to Aston Villa and Girona. A 9-0 thrashing of lower-division Latina seven days ago in the penultimate preseason test, with Ciro Immobile completing a hat-trick on the occasion, did give Lazio some confidence, though.
Despite not having strong checks this summer, Lecce’s 3-0 victory over Cittadella was undoubtedly a very encouraging development for head coach Roberto D’Aversa as the new season got underway.
Last weekend, the Via del Mare club began their Coppa Italia campaign by defeating lower level Como 1-0. Lecce put on an excellent overall effort, controlling the action on the field from the opening whistle until the final horn.
Lecce vs Lazio – Betting Analysis
Going into their 27th meeting with Lecce, Lazio leads the head-to-head tie by nine victories. However, Lecce has won both of their previous meetings with Lazio (at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare), being undefeated in all three meetings.
In each of the previous eight head-to-head matches, both teams scored. In recent years, Lazio has had trouble winning at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare.
Since this is the opening game of the year, Sarri might require some time to acclimate the newcomers.
