Torino and Lecce will be looking to find their feet this weekend when they lock horns at the Stadio Olimpico in round 11 of the Italian Serie A on Saturday. While Ignazio Abate’s men have lost their last two outings, the visitors are on the cusp of a fourth consecutive defeat for the first time since April.
What seemed like a resurgent spell has started to unravel for Torino once again, as the Maroons suffered a 2-0 defeat against Frosinone at the Stadio Benito Stirpe last Sunday.
Thanks for the submission!
This followed a 3-1 home defeat at the hands of high-flying Como on October 27, a run which saw their three-game winning streak in the league come to an end.
Torino have picked up four wins and one draw from their 10 Serie A matches so far to collect 13 points and sit 10th in the league table, level on points with Genoa and Cagliari.
Meanwhile, Lecce continue to struggle for results at the wrong end of the league table, with a 2-1 defeat against Genoa at the Via del Mare last Sunday joining a long trail of disappointing results.
Eusebio Di Francesco’s men have now lost five of their most recent six matches, with a hugely impressive 3-0 victory over Udinese at the Bluenergy Stadium on October 18 being the exception.
Lecce have lost seven of their 10 Serie A matches this season, while claiming three wins so far to collect nine points and sit 14th in the table, just two points above the dreaded bottom three.
Torino vs Lecce Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- With eight wins from the last 16 meetings between the sides, Torino boast a superior record in the history of this fixture.
- Lecce have picked up five wins in that time, while the spoils have been shared on three occasions.
- Torino are unbeaten in their last five home games against Lecce, picking up four wins and one draw since a 2-1 defeat in September 2019.
- Lecce have lost four of their six away matches across all competitions this season, while picking up victories against Venezia and Udinese so far.
Torino vs Lecce Prediction
Torino have seen their form suffer a dip of late, and they will head into the weekend looking to bounce back against an out-of-sorts Lecce side who have struggled for results this season.
With 21 goals conceded already, defensive vulnerability has been the major sticking point for Lecce this season, and we predict Abate’s men will make their home advantage count this weekend.
Prediction: Torino 3-1 Lecce
