Lecce vs Napoli Prediction

Lecce host Napoli in the first game of Matchday No 7 in Italian Serie A on Saturday afternoon at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare.

Lecce suffered their first defeat of the season on Tuesday evening, falling 1-0 away at Juventus. It was yet another strong performance from Roberto D’Aversa’s defensive line against a very strong opposition on the road.

Lecce have generally been very difficult to break down in the early stages of the season. They have allowed only two goals in the last four league outings.

This fine defensive form will come in quite handy for D’Aversa’s troops ahead of the clash with the reigning champions who have just put four goals past Udinese in their midweek fixture at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

The 4-1 win over Udinese helped Napoli terminate a three-game winless thread in the Serie A. The champions now have the same record as Lecce with three wins, two draws, and one defeat in the opening six rounds of the season.

It is, however, worth noting that I Partinopei are winless in two straight away fixtures in the league, a run that includes the last weekend’s goalless draw at Bologna.

Latest Meetings

The teams have a win, a draw, and a loss apiece in the previous three matches.

Napoli took four points from the last season’s two clashes against Lecce, a run that involves a 1-2 victory at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare.

We’ve seen goals at both ends in each of the last four outings between Lecce and Napoli.

The Verdict

We believe the time has come for the end to a high-scoring trend in the H2H clashes between these rivals. Lecce have done extremely well defensively of late while Napoli struggled with efficiency last weekend away at Bologna.

The Under 2.5 goals FT is the main betting option at the odds of 1.85 while we will alternatively back the reigning champions to get the much-needed win at the 1.75 odds purely because of the gap in quality between them and Lecce.
