On Sunday morning, Leece and Torino clash at the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare as both teams look to push up the Serie A table.
Although Leece currently finds themselves in 15th place in the Serie A table, the home side is nine points clear of the relegation zone. Another victory here would be another step to safety this season.
Marco Baroni’s team heads into this clash after two straight defeats to Sassuolo and Inter in Serie A. The results mean that Lecce has won just once in their last four outings in the Italian top flight.
One recent trend that Lecce’s games have followed has been that their Serie A outings have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five matches.
The hosts have found wins on home soil hard to come by in recent months, as they have failed to win in their previous four home matches in Serie A.
Il Toro will still believe that they have an outside chance of finishing in Serie A’s European spots this season. However, the team from Turin is currently eight points adrift of the league’s top six in the fight for European places.
Torino’s recent league form has been inconsistent, as a 1-0 home win over Bologna last time out in Serie A ended a three-game run without a league win for Ivan Juric’s team.
The visitors have been poor on their travels of late in the Italian top-flight, as they have won just two of their previous 11 away games in Serie A.
They have also suffered back-to-back away wins in the league at Milan and Juventus.
Forebet predicts that this encounter will produce a high-scoring encounter, which will end in a draw.
