Monza vs Lecce Prediction & Match Preview

After avoiding relegation by the skin of their teeth in the previous Serie A campaign, Lecce got off to a dream start to the new season.

The team led by new manager Roberto D’Aversa won two and drew one of the opening three 2023/24 affairs, scoring two goals in each of them along the way.

Both wins have, however, come at Stadio Via del Mare but it is also worth noting that D’Aversa’s troops held the likes of Fiorentina to a 2-2 stalemate away at Stadio Artemio Franchi in Matchday No 2.

Lecce now travel north to face Monza in Gameweek 4 on Sunday afternoon at U-Power Stadium.

The hosts will enter the tie highly motivated to get their campaign up and running, having lost two of the maiden three fixtures this season.

The defeats have, however, come in the road clashes against the likes of Inter Milan and Atalanta as Raffaele Palladino’s men picked up a three-pointer in the lone winnable game so far in the campaign (2-0 against Empoli at home).

Monza were one of the most pleasant surprises of the previous Serie A term and we expect them to stay well clear of the relegation scrap this time around as well.

Latest Meetings

The outfits have three wins, draws, and losses apiece going into their landmark 10th head to head encounter.

Lecce took four points from the last season’s meetings with Monza, courtesy of a surprising 0-1 victory in May this year at U-Power Stadium.

Only one of nine H2H affairs between these counterparts produced three or more goals.

The Verdict

Monza were a force last year at U-Power Stadium and they’ve managed a 2-0 win over Empoli in the lone home clash at the start of this season as well. Lecce got off to a shockingly good start but this is probably the place where they are about to suffer the maiden loss of the season.

The home win is worth backing at the 2.10 odds. We will alternatively take the Over 2.5 goals FT pick at the same 2.10 odds knowing how attacking Lecce have played in the opening three rounds of the season.
