Luca Gotti's men were stronger than Verona at home in the last round (1:0). As a result, Lecce broke their 6-match winless streak in the league (2 draws, 4 losses). The team also managed to score for the first time in five previous Serie A encounters. The club has gathered eight points and has risen from the last place in the league table, leaving Genoa behind.

Bologna vs. Lecce: match prediction
In recent home championship matches, Bologna has struggled with scoring: in 6 of their last 7 encounters, the team did not score more than once. However, the club performs well defensively and does not allow opponents to create many chances: in 11 out of their last 12 home games in Serie A, Bologna conceded a maximum of one goal, recording six clean sheets during this period.
Lecce has had a tough time scoring away from home, with a 6-match streak of not scoring in away league games. However, the club often manages to play securely at their own net: in 8 out of their last 11 away confrontations in Serie A, Lecce conceded no more than one goal.
I expect a low-scoring match, so my prediction is: "Total Under 2.5" with odds of
