On Matchday 5 of Italy’s Serie A, Lecce will take on Bologna on September 28, 2025. The visitors will aim to fight for the maximum number of points here.
Our Prediction for Lecce vs Bologna
The team from "Via del Mare" managed to accomplish its only task last season—retaining its place in Italy’s top division. Even 34 points were enough for a safe seventeenth position. This year, things have started off tough: after a cup win over modest Juve Stabia, they drew 0-0 with Genoa in the league, but then lost to both Milan and Atalanta. In the last round against Cagliari, they again scored fewer goals than their opponent. Facing Milan again in the cup, they suffered a heavy defeat.
Their opponent debuted in the Champions League a year ago, but it ended unsuccessfully. In Serie A, they also slipped from fifth to ninth place. However, Italiano compensated for this by winning a trophy—the cup. This season, after a home win over Como, they lost away to both Roma and Milan. In the last round, however, they managed a comeback 2-1 victory against Genoa. This week, the Europa League campaign began, where they narrowly lost to Aston Villa.
Francesco Di Francesco’s new charges have been scoring just 0.5 goals per match, while conceding much more—2.0 per game. Their opponent averages 0.75 goals both for and against per game.
