Lecce vs Como prediction: Lariani to return home with three points
Key stats
- Lecce have won only four of their last 10 Serie A fixtures (D2, L4).
- The Giallorossi have won only twice across their eight home games.
- Como have conceded nine and scored eight goals in away matches this term.
- Only one of the Biancoblu’s last five matches have seen both sides score.
Correct score prediction: Lecce 1-2 Como
Lecce climbed up the Serie A charts with a narrow win over relegation contenders Pisa last time out, extending their gap to four points over the drop zone. Eusebio di Francesco’s side have been inconsistent in recent weeks, winning three of their last six fixtures as they eye a top half finish.
On the other hand, Como have been one of the more impressive sides this term, with the lakeside natives trailing the top six spot by just a single point. Cesc Gabregas will be keen to see his side take advantage of a shaky Lecce side and enter the European spots, provided other results favour them.
We expect Como to come away with a much-needed victory in this matchup at Stadio Via del Mare.

- DRAW: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%

Player to watch: Nico Paz
With five goals and as many assists this Serie A season, Paz has been one of the league’s standout performers, helping Como claim an impressive seventh position on Christmas day. The 21-year-old midfielder proved ineffective in the recent losses to Roma and Inter Milan, and playing against Lecce will serve as the perfect platform for him to bounce back and add to his goal contributions tally.
