Verona vs Lecce Predictions

• Verona have played six goalless draws this season
• Lecce are the lowest scorers in Serie A this season
• The two teams have taken one point from their last ten games combined

Crucial relegation battle

Hellas Verona and Lecce face off in a crucial clash in the Serie A relegation battle, with the hosts running out of time to avoid the drop.

Verona are ten points adrift of safety and desperately need a victory against 18th-placed Lecce if they are to have any chance of staying up.

The visitors are level on points with Cremonese, who face Napoli this weekend, and could leapfrog those opponents with a success here.

Goals have been incredibly hard to come by for both teams this season with Lecce scoring just 22 in 33 games and Verona only one better with 23 scored.

Low-scoring affair likely

Three of Verona’s last four games have been decided by a goal or less and under 1.5 goals is the pick in this titanic relegation battle.

Considering the stakes for both teams and their difficulties finding the net, a real cagey affair looks likely.

In their last ten combined league games, these two teams have only scored three goals and the floodgates don’t look like they are about to open in this clash, take under 1.5 goals.

It was a goalless draw when the pair met earlier in the season, one of six for Verona this season, and a repeat of that looks a decent bet.
