Lecce vs. Verona: Match Prediction
In a clash between teams that do not excel in attacking play, it is reasonable to expect a low number of goals and scoring chances. The statistics support this view. Even at home, Lecce rarely delights fans with high-scoring football: in their last 16 home Serie A matches, the team managed to score more than one goal only twice. Moreover, in ten of these matches, the club's players failed to score at all.
Verona also struggles with attacking play, and the team's offensive efficiency is low. In their last 15 away league matches, the club has scored more than once only once, and that was against Empoli, who were relegated to Serie B last season. In eight of these matches, Verona left the field without scoring.
My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
