Lecce vs Hellas Verona Preview
Lecce
Lecce’s trip to Naples in the previous round resulted in another defeat for the Giallorossi. The last time Lecce grabbed points in Serie A was on September 21, after which they lost four matches straight and were beaten by Sassuolo in the Coppa Italia.
The hosts face the most problems in attack. So far, Lecce have only managed to score three goals in nine rounds (the least in Serie A) and have gone goalless in five consecutive official matches.

Lecce also face problems in the defence. While they only conceded once against Napoli, they conceded six against Fiorentina, a result of their defenders allowing too many errors.
Nikola Krstovic is the only bright spot in the squad. The forward is among the top ten players in Serie A in terms of individual xG over the last five rounds with a result of 3.15.
Hellas Verona
Verona are doing a bit better than their opponents. However, two consecutive crushing defeats after the international break do not inspire optimism among the fans. They were heavily beaten against Atalanta (1-6) and suffered a fiasco at home against Monza (0-3).

The Verona defense seems to face more challenges with each round, and the visitors have conceded at least one goal in their last six matches. Notably, Paolo Zanetti’s men have conceded more goals than any other team in Serie A.
We should definitely expect changes in Verona’s defensive line. Instead of Diego Coppola and Domagoj Bradarić, Austrian defender Flavius Daniliuc is likely to feature. Ondrej Duda has served his suspension and should reclaim his place in the starting lineup again.

- Pick: Verona or Draw
- Odds: 1.81 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Lecce 1-2 Hellas Verona
Verona displayed poor form in the previous two rounds, but Lecce are in an even worse situation, with a series of five defeats in a row in all tournaments. Moreover, in none of these five matches did Lecce manage to score a goal.
Although both teams have had a bad streak, Verona are more efficient in the attack and can convert their chances successfully.
It is also worth noting that Lecce have not won against their opponents since 2019, losing five of the previous six head-to-head meetings. We think that given the hosts’ current form, they will find it difficult to grab a victory. Our pick is Verona or draw in this encounter.
Lecce vs Hellas Verona Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams to Score
- Odds: 1.88 (22Bet)
Given the serious problems of Hellas Verona in defense, Lecce can count on their first goal in five rounds as Verona have conceded in each of their previous three away matches.
Daniel Mosquera is the top goalscorer for Verona alongside Casper Tengstedt, both scoring three goals so far. As for Lecce, Nikola Krstović has two goals on his account and will pose a threat to the opposing defenders.
While Lecce have notable issues, we think that there will likely be an exchange of goals. The teams need a positive result and they will be motivated to attack. Our second pick for this encounter would be both teams to score.
