Each team's lineup reflects their starting eleven from their last match in this tournament.
Lecce
The team suffered a heavy 1-4 defeat to Roma in their last Serie A match, ending a three-match unbeaten run (1 win, 2 draws). However, Lecce's scoring streak in this tournament continues, extending to four matches. In the Serie A standings, the club is in 16th place, just one point above the relegation zone. Notably, Lecce is the league's lowest-scoring team with only eight goals, compared to 13 for their nearest rival in this category.
- No more than two goals have been scored in 6 of Lecce's last 7 Serie A matches.
- The club has failed to win 10 of their last 12 matches in this tournament, suffering 6 defeats.
- At home, the team has not lost in 5 of their last 6 Serie A matches (2 wins, 3 draws).
Monza
The club extended their winless streak in Italy's top league to seven matches, losing 1-2 to Udinese in their previous game. Moreover, Monza has failed to win 23 of their last 24 Serie A matches (10 draws, 13 losses) and has the fewest wins this season among all teams (1). Unsurprisingly, Alessandro Nesta's side is in the relegation zone, sitting in 19th place, just three points behind Lecce.
- The team has failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 7 league matches.
- Monza has not scored more than one goal in their last 6 Serie A matches.
- No more than two goals have been scored in 9 of Monza's last 12 away matches in this tournament.
Lecce vs. Monza: Match Prediction
Both teams have underwhelmed in Serie A this season, with only four wins between them in 30 matches. However, Lecce appears more competitive than Monza and consistently picks up points at home. Marco Giampaolo's team has not lost in 5 of their last 6 home Serie A matches. Meanwhile, Monza has failed to win 11 of their last 12 away matches in this tournament.
Additionally, Monza has never beaten Lecce in Serie A (3 draws, 1 loss), with all matches taking place over the past two seasons. I am confident the hosts will not lose this time, considering Monza has managed to earn three points in only 1 of their last 24 Serie A matches.
My prediction – Lecce to win or draw
