🔥 Our Hot tip

BTTS: No

Both teams have not scored in the last three H2Hs

In this article, we have given our Lecce vs Napoli prediction, odds & betting tips ahead of their Serie A clash on Saturday evening. The visitors are three points clear at the top of the table at the time of writing, and will be hoping to see out the season's final stretch and win their second Scudetto title in three campaigns.

Lecce vs Napoli prediction: No problem for league leaders?

Key stats

  • Lecce are winless in 11 games, and have not won at home since December.
  • Napoli have won their last three matches to nil.
  • Napoli are unbeaten in five H2Hs.

Correct score prediction: Lecce 0-2 Napoli

Lecce have scored the fewest goals in Serie A (24) this season, while Napoli have conceded the fewest (25). Given both teams' respective forms and league positions too, we are expecting a fairly routine away victory.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Napoli big favourites

  • HOME: 5/1 (6.00) – 16.7%
  • DRAW: 3/1 (4.00) – 25.0%
  • AWAY: 11/20 (1.55) – 64.5 %

*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Unsurprisingly, Napoli are big favourites to win this one, while a draw is given about a 25% chance. Lecce are huge underdogs despite being at home.

Player to watch: Scott McTominay

Scott McTominay has scored five goals in Napoli's last three Serie A games, helping them climb to the top of the table. He is on 11 for the season now, and just one more would see him equal Marek Hamsik's record of 12 for a Napoli midfielder in one season.

McTominay also grabbed a crucial assist in Napoli's 1-0 win over Lecce earlier this season, showing just how much he can contribute in all areas. The Scotsman will fancy himself to make an impact again given his recent form.
