Lazio vs Lecce Match Preview
Celtic completed the double over Lazio Europa League on Thursday night when a late goal denied Lazio points. Two losses Celtic Squeeze three consecutive victories in Serie A that has lifted them to fourth in the table.
In the league, Lazio are unbeaten in six matches (W4, D2) and recently beat Fiorentina 2-1, Torino 4-0 at home and AC Milan 2-1. It is a form they will be looking to replicate when they entertain Lecce on Sunday afternoon.
Lecce away form is a powerful suite and they come into the weekend having collected a score draw in their last four league games.
Lazio striker Ciro Immobile is a person from the moment in Italian football though. He has scored 13 of his team's 24 goals this term and has scored at least once in its last six league games. It made the best choice in terms of goalscoring stakes. The 29-year-old will certainly test the Lecce defense with the second worst defensive record after leaking 21 goals. The last four games between these sides have produced 16 goals and they can easily flow again on Sunday. Lazio have scored at least two goals in their last six league matches
Lecce has not won in six league matches and from the point of betting this match looks pretty clear. Lazio win, goals, Immobile and combinations thereof.
Both Teams To Score has landed in four of five games last Lazio and in nine of 10 games last Lecce, so that other betting angle worth exploring.
If Lazio are in the mood on a Sunday this game can be messy.
Prediction
Lazio suffered another late defeat against Celtic in the Europa League and now will try and pick up from where they left off in Serie A. They are unbeaten in their last six in the league and have won their last three.
On the other hand, Lecce had taken more points away from home than they have in front of their own fans.
However, Lazio striker Ciro Immobile in fantastic form in front of goal this season and can become too much to handle this time.
Prediction: Lazio 3: 0 Lecce
