Lecce and Pisa are set to kick off round 16 of the Italian Serie A at the Via del Mare on Friday. The two teams last met in April 2022, with Lecce emerging victorious with a 2-0 win in their Serie B clash.
Lecce suffered a 2-0 defeat against Cremonese in their last match at the Stadio Giovanni Zini. The team managed to win only one of their last eight league matches, with four losses and two draws since mid-October. Their home form has also been disappointing, with just one victory at the Via del Mare in Serie A this season.
On the other hand, Pisa is also struggling in the bottom half of the Serie A table. They suffered a 1-0 loss against Parma in their last game at the Arena Garibaldi-Romeo Anconetani. Pisa has won only one of their 14 Serie A matches this season, with six losses and seven draws, placing them in 18th position in the league standings.
In terms of head-to-head statistics, Lecce has the upper hand with five wins in the last 10 meetings against Pisa. However, Pisa has managed to secure three wins in that period, with two draws between the teams. Lecce has struggled at home this season, while Pisa is one of the three teams yet to win an away game in the league.
In terms of prediction, Lecce is favored to win due to their home advantage, with a predicted scoreline of 2-1 in their favor. Betting tips suggest placing bets on Lecce to win, fewer than 10.5 corners in the game, and over 4.5 cards being shown during the match.
Overall, both Lecce and Pisa will be looking to secure a much-needed victory to climb out of the relegation zone. The match promises to be a closely contested affair, with Lecce having a slight edge due to their home advantage.
