No CheckLive favourite has been given for this Serie A fixture, which is a fair reflection of how close it looks. With neither side carrying a clear edge, a draw has to be considered a real outcome.
Venezia's recent results include a 3-2 Coppa Italia win over Modena and friendly games against Brest, Saint-Étienne, Galatasaray and Vis Pesaro. Lecce lost 2-0 to Palermo in the Coppa Italia and have mixed friendly results, including wins over Monopoli and Kety Emmi Bistrica and a defeat to Politehnica Timișoara. Most of this form comes outside Serie A, so neither side has much of a league rhythm to go on.
The head-to-head is tiny: two meetings, with Venezia yet to beat Lecce, and their last Serie A meeting finished 1-1. With that history and no CheckLive favourite, the key thing to watch is which side can impose itself first without much recent league form to lean on.
