Lecce will play host to Lazio at the Stadio Via del Mare this Sunday, with the home side desperate to secure points to move away from the relegation zone.
The home team’s struggles continued with a 1–0 defeat at AC Milan last weekend, marking their fourth consecutive loss and extending a six-game winless streak in Serie A.
While three of those defeats came against top-four sides, offering some consolation, Eusebio Di Francesco’s team remain in the relegation zone, level on points with 17th-placed Fiorentina.
Scoring has been a major issue, with just 13 goals in the league this season, and another goalless performance at home could see Lecce suffer four straight top-flight home defeats for the first time since 2019.
Lazio, meanwhile, are facing a disappointing campaign after a 3–0 home loss to Como left them ninth and nine points behind the top six.
Maurizio Sarri’s side have won only two of their last nine league matches, but their rarity of consecutive defeats this season suggests they remain capable of bouncing back.
Road form adds further optimism, with seven points collected from their last three away fixtures while conceding just once, giving them a solid platform for this clash.

Player to watch: Mattia Zaccagni
Mattia Zaccagni has been instrumental for Lazio and as he continues to lead the attack for the visiting side. The Italian international has been in superb form over his last five games, during which he has provided three goals to help his team remain in the hunt for a European spot.
He was particularly influential in the recent victory over Hellas Verona, where his creativity and vision opened up the opposition defence on multiple occasions. His ability to cut inside from the left flank and strike from distance makes him a constant threat that the home defence will struggle to contain.
