Spal vs Lecce Match Preview

Spal is ranked at 5th place of the Italian Serie B with 23 points and comes after two wins two draws and a loss over the last five matches. Being winless in the most recent three duels caused them to drop into the direct promotion zone and now will need to bounce back against a direct rival like Lecce.

They have scored 18 goals so far and after failing to score in these last three games where they even lost a penalty, I guess the time has come to see some changes. Before that, they were scoring at least a goal for nine consecutive matches, while at home they scored at least once in five out of six games so far, totaling 12 goals. That means they are averaging at least two goals per game while at home and are one of the few teams which are yet to lose a home game.

Lecce, on the other hand, is ranked at 7th place with 21 points and comes after a single win three draws and a loss over the last five matches. Their aim is to earn promotion back to Serie A this season and currently sit in the play-off zone. Their most recent results have not been the best for them, especially that shocking 0-3 loss at home against Pisa.

With 27 goals scored until now, they have the best offensive side in the league and that is mainly because of experienced players in attack who were with them even in Serie A. The trio Coda-Mancosu-Stepinski has combined for 17 goals and 15 assists together this season while waiting for Falco to find his best shape too. They have scored seven goals in the last five matches averaging at least a goal per game.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. They were playing together in Serie A in the past season and they are serious contenders for securing a promotion spot this year. Spal at home is expected to score at least a goal considering that Lecce leaves many spaces behind. Lecce is playing offensive football this season and can also score a goal as they did in four of the last five matches on the road.
