Lecce have lost six of their last seven matches in all competitions
Lecce have scored just one goal across their last seven fixtures
Empoli have scored in each of their six away outings in all competitions this season
Goals could be hard to come by
Lecce are rock-bottom of the Serie A standings and and a narrow away win for Empoli is our prediction for this clash.
The hosts are having a miserable time of things with goal being particularly hard to come by. In fact, a lack of net-bulging action is a common theme in this fixture so a win to nil for the visitors looks the best course of action from a punting perspective.
None of the last four meetings have seen more than two goals scored and neither team has managed to score twice in any of those matches either.
Lecce have scored just one goal across their last seven fixtures but things haven’t been much better for Empoli, who haven’t scored more than once in a match for six outings.
A solitary strike may be all that is needed
Lecce won the last meetings between these two 1-0 in April last season and we predict that Empoli can turn the tables with a similar scoreline this week.
This fixture is never the most goal heavy and neither side have found their shooting boots this season, so a cagey 1-0 away looks the best bet for correct score punters.
