Lecce vs Pisa Prediction and Betting Tips

Lecce and Pisa get round 16 of Italian Serie A underway when they square off at the Via del Mare on Friday. This will be the first meeting between the two teams since April 2022, when Eusebio Di Francesco’s men secured a 2-0 victory in their Serie B clash.

Lecce were left empty-handed yet again as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Cremonese when the two sides squared off at the Stadio Giovanni Zini last Saturday.

Di Francesco’s side have failed to win six of their last eight league matches, losing four and claiming two draws since mid-October while conceding nine goals and scoring five across the six games.

While Lecce will be looking to find their feet this weekend, their form on home turf offers little optimism, as they have managed just one victory at the Via del Mare in Serie A this season.

Like the home side, Pisa continue to struggle for results in the bottom half of the Serie A table as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Parma at the Arena Garibaldi-Romeo Anconetani last Sunday.

Alberto Gilardino’s men have failed to win 13 of their 14 Serie A games in what has been a difficult return to the top flight, losing six and claiming seven draws so far.

With 10 points from 14 Serie A matches, Pisa are currently 18th in the league standings, three points and one spot behind this weekend’s hosts.

It has been a slow start to the campaign for Lecce and Pisa, who will both head into the weekend in search of a pick-me-up as they look to pull clear of the danger zone.

Home advantage gives Lecce a slight upper hand and we are backing them to come away with the desired result, albeit by the odd goal.
