Two of Serie A’s lowest-scoring and most compact sides meet in what promises to be a tactical and disciplined encounter. Lecce’s improved defensive balance and Verona’s lack of attacking punch suggest another low-scoring affair.
Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
Both teams rely on defensive structure rather than attacking flair. Recent trends for each point strongly toward a match defined by patience and control rather than goals.
Lecce: Building on Defensive Solidity
Lecce have quietly become one of the league’s toughest teams to break down. They have conceded just two goals across their last five Serie A matches, with the recent 1–0 win over Fiorentina highlighting their tactical maturity. Marco Baroni’s men rely on compact lines, controlled pressing, and exploiting occasional set-piece opportunities.
Verona: Searching for a Breakthrough
Verona’s winless run continues, but they are not being easily beaten. Five of their ten games have finished level, often by narrow 0–0 or 1–1 margins. The attack lacks sharpness and creativity, while the defensive shape keeps matches tight. The result is a string of under 2.5-goal outcomes - a trend unlikely to change away from home.
