The runaway leaders at the top of the Serie A standings will be looking to stretch their advantage when they return to action on Sunday. Inter Milan could move 12 points clear of Juventus with a victory over Lecce.
Serie A Preview
There is no doubt that Inter Milan have been the standout team in Serie A this term, and they appear to be coasting toward the title at this stage. Inter have recorded victories in 20 of their 24 league matches this term, and they have suffered just a single defeat. Furthermore, they boast the best attacking and defensive records of any side in the top-flight.
The Italian giants come into this round in stunning recent form after picking up victories in each of their last five matches in the competition. Their excellent run of form was maintained last weekend with a straightforward 4-0 success against Salernitana. Lautaro Martinez netted his 20th goal of the season in that win, with Denzel Dumfries and Marcus Thuram also finding the net.
Lecce will be considerable outsiders in the betting this weekend, as they come into the round after losing four of their last five matches in Serie A. They currently sit 13th in the table, and boast a four-point advantage over the bottom three places. It could yet be a nervy end to the campaign for the side, as they look to avoid getting dragged into the relegation scrap.
Lecce has suffered defeats in each of their last two matches in the competition, with their most recent setback coming against Torino last Friday. They have conceded six goals in their last two defeats, and they have failed to score in both matches in the competition.
Lecce vs Inter Milan Head to Head
Inter have recorded victories in their last three league matches against Lecce, keeping clean sheets in their previous two. Their most recent success was a home 2-0 win in December. Inter also landed a 2-1 success in this exact fixture last season.
Lecce vs Inter Milan Prediction
It has been a poor run for Lecce in Serie A, and things don’t get much easier against the league leaders this weekend. We find it challenging to overlook the Serie A high flyers from maintaining their excellent winning sequence, and victory could be secured by a 3-1 scoreline.
