Lecce’s Serie A status has been assured, and the pressure will be off when they play their final game of the league season against Bologna this weekend. The visitors could secure a top-half finish with a victory on the road.
It has been a nervy end to the season for Lecce, but their top-flight status has been assured after a victory last weekend. That success means that there is now a five-point difference between themselves and the bottom three places in the standings. A victory this weekend would be a rewarding result for the home fans that have stuck with them throughout this testing campaign, and they come into the final day in decent form.
Lecce has gone three without defeat in Serie A, but they have been held to two draws over that period. They produced one of the most dramatic finishes of the season last weekend, as Lorenzo Colombo netted the winning goal against Monza in the eleventh minute of injury time.
Bologna has fallen short in their pursuit of a European finish this season, but a top-half finish to the season would still represent an excellent campaign for the Italian side. A lack of wins have let them down in recent weeks, as they have secured maximum points on just one occasion from their last five outings.
Draws have plagued their progression over that period, as they have been held on three occasions from their last four, but they have avoided defeat in all fixtures over that period. They come into this fixture after an excellent 2-2 draw against Napoli in their final home match of the season last weekend.
Bologna has an excellent record in this fixture, as they have won each of their last three against Lecce. That includes a comfortable 2-0 success in the reverse clash between the sides this season. They also won this exact fixture 3-2 last season. Lecce’s last win against Bologna was a 2-0 win on the road in September 2011.
The hosts have had limited success in this fixture in recent history, and that would be an obvious concern ahead of this showdown on Sunday. Therefore, we will be siding with a victory for the visitors, as Bologna achieve a top-half finish in Serie A.
