Lecce hosts Hellas Verona in a Serie A clash between two struggling sides. Lecce sits 15th, while Hellas Verona is 19th, both fighting to avoid relegation. Recent form is poor for both, with Lecce winless in five home matches and Verona winless in five away. The H2H record is tight, with Verona edging recent meetings, but Lecce won the last encounter at home. Both teams are low-scoring and defensively vulnerable, setting up a tense, low-event contest.
Key Factors to Consider
Lecce averages 0.50 goals per home game and 1.30 conceded, with only one win in their last 10 home matches. Verona averages 0.60 goals per away game and 1.40 conceded, with two wins in their last 10 away. Both teams have struggled to score and keep clean sheets, with Verona failing to win any of their last five away matches.
Verona leads the H2H with 5 wins in the last 10 meetings, Lecce has 3 wins, and 2 draws. Verona has won 5 of the last 8 H2Hs, but Lecce won the last meeting at home 1-0. At Via del Mare, Verona has won 3 of the last 5 H2Hs, Lecce 2.
No major injuries reported for either side; both teams are at full strength.
Lecce’s home form is abysmal, with only one win in 10 home games. Verona’s away form is also poor, but they have a slight edge in H2H at this venue. The match is played in November, with no weather concerns. Both teams are under pressure to avoid relegation.
Both teams are fighting for survival, but Lecce’s home struggles and Verona’s recent H2H edge at this venue give Verona a slight psychological advantage. Lecce’s motivation is high to end their home win drought, but their form suggests they may struggle.

Predicted Outcome
Hellas Verona to win or draw (Double Chance) offers the highest EV, but for single-outcome markets, the safest high-EV play is Under 2.5 goals. Both teams are low-scoring, defensively leaky, and recent H2Hs have seen few goals. The odds on Under 2.5 are attractive given the statistical profile.
