Hellas Verona vs Lecce | Prediction & Best Bet | 1X2 Poll

Match Preview

Hellas Verona and Lecce meet at Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi with both sides entrenched in the Serie A relegation zone, separated by just four points. Verona are four points above the drop zone but have managed only one win in their last five league games (W1 D2 L2). Their home form is patchy, scoring 5 goals in 7 matches at Bentegodi but conceding 12, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities.

Lecce’s recent away record is similarly poor, with one clean sheet in their last seven away Serie A fixtures. They have scored 9 goals in their last 8 matches but conceded 14 in that same span, reflecting a leaky defense. Top scorer Ceesay remains their key outlet, contributing 8 goals this season, but Lecce’s defensive frailties undermine their survival hopes.

Verona have conceded 9 goals in their last 4 matches, a worrying trend for a team needing solidity. Lecce’s away struggles and defensive inconsistency give Verona a slight edge. However, both sides’ inability to maintain defensive discipline points to a tight, low-confidence game. The edge goes to Hellas Verona due to marginally better recent points accumulation and home advantage, with a 45% implied win probability versus 30% for Lecce and 25% for a draw.

Team Form

Verona’s recent form shows some resilience with two draws and a win in the last five, while Lecce’s form is more erratic with three losses and a single win. Both teams’ defensive records remain a major concern.
