Their struggles can also be seen from their poor defensive record during this period where they conceded fifteen goals while only finding the net twice themselves.

Team Form: Verona

Their defensive vulnerability is evident from conceding eighteen goals while scoring eight themselves in these away games.
Currently positioned fifteenth in Serie A standings with nine points from nine matches played so far, they will be looking to improve their form and climb up the table.
In their most recent match against Atalanta on October 26th earlier this week, Verona faced a heavy defeat as they were outplayed by a scoreline of 6-1.
Key Players
For Lecce, midfielder Lassana Coulibaly has been an influential player for them recently. Although he hasn’t scored or assisted yet this season, his presence in midfield provides stability and control for the team.
On the other hand, Verona’s attacker Amin Sarr has made significant contributions lately. He managed to find the back of the net once in their previous match against Atalanta despite suffering a heavy loss overall (6-1).
Statistical Insights
Lecce’s poor defensive record can be seen through their goal difference of -16 after just nine matches played. Their struggles at home are also apparent as they have conceded twelve goals while only managing to score three times themselves across four home fixtures so far this season.

Prediction: Lecce vs Verona
Based on current form and historical head-to-head records between these teams, Verona seems to have the upper hand. Considering Lecce’s struggles both at home and overall this season, it is likely that Verona will come out on top in this match.
Prediction: Lecce 0 – 2 Verona
