This weekend’s Serie A action includes some crucial clashes, and these Lecce vs. Salernitana predictions show the latest picture just outside the relegation zone. Hosts Lecce head into this tie in 14th with Salernitana in 16th.
Lecce vs. Salernitana odds
1 – Lecce to win – 10/11
2 – Lecce under 2.5 total goals – 2/9
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 15/13
4 – Both teams not to score – 20/21
5 – Lecce to win 1-0 – 6/1
Neither side go into this game in positive form in Serie A, with visitors Salernitana without a league win in their last seven games either side of the World Cup.
Hosts Lecce are in slightly better form, with five points picked up from their last four league outings. They have a slight edge over Salernitana, with the away team perched just above the relegation zone ahead of the weekend.
Lecce are favourites to pick up all three points in this clash, as they have lost just one of their last eight home league matches, with four points from two since their World Cup return.
Within that run of relatively improved form, Lecce have struggled to score goals on a regular basis. They have scored just four goals overall in their four games since returning to action, at a rate of one per match.
Only two of those four games have included over 2.5 total goals scored in 90 minutes of action with Salernitana mirroring that figure in their own four games since the start of 2023.
Lecce have generally looked solid in defence in recent weeks, while Salernitana have failed to find the net away from home on a regular basis. Lecce will be confident of holding out against this weekend’s visitors.
This clash is unlikely to be a classic on the Serie A weekend calendar, with both sides in real danger of getting sucked into a relegation battle in the coming weeks. But the home side should have just enough to squeeze out a crucial win and extend Salernitana’s winless streak on into February.
