Lecce vs Monza Prediction & Match Preview

Lecce vs Monza Match Preview

• Lecce go into this on the back of successive clean-sheet wins in the last two rounds.
• Only one of the previous ten H2H meetings between these rivals saw three or more goals.
• Monza took just one point from the previous four league fixtures.

Lecce made a decisive step towards securing the top-flight status last weekend. They demolished direct relegation rivals Sassuolo 3-0 on Sunday away in Reggio nell’Emilia. It was the second clean-sheet win on the bounce for Luca Gotti’s men. They are now seven points above the red zone.

Lecce will be looking to extend their extraordinary spell of form on Saturday afternoon. They host Monza in Matchday No 34 at Stadio Ettore Giardiniero – Via del Mare. Can Gotti’s men keep their net untouched once again? They’ve done so in four of the previous five league affairs.

Monza will enter the tie in a completely opposite mood. They claimed just one point from the previous four league outings. The latest of the failures happened six days ago. It came in the shape of a 1-2 home defeat at the hands of Atalanta.

Recent Meetings

• Lecce won three and drew two of the previous five meetings with Monza.
• The teams shared spoils in a 1-1 draw in the return match played in September last year at U-Power Stadium.
• Just one of the last ten head-to-head affairs between these rivals saw three or more goals scored.

Lecce vs Monza Prediction

We have enough reasons to expect the continuation of a low-scoring trend in this matchup. Lecce kept four clean sheets in the last five Serie A outings. They produced a stellar defensive showing in a 3-0 win at Sassuolo last Sunday.

On the other side, three of Monza’s last four league fixtures finished with fewer than two goals scored.

Finally, nine of the previous ten H2H clashes between Lecce and Monza ended with fewer than three goals scored. The Under 2.5 goals pick is paid at the 1.66 odds.

Monza are one of few teams that have nothing to play for in the remaining five rounds of the season. They occupy the 11th place in the league table at the moment.

European positions are beyond the reach while the team have already secured the elite-class survival despite the poor spell of form in recent weeks.

Lecce are flying high after back-to-back clean-sheet wins over Empoli and Sassuolo in the last two rounds. We see value in backing the home win pick at the 2.05 odds.
