A closely fought encounter is expected this weekend according to these Lecce vs. Torino predictions. Neither side is in particularly strong form going into the clash, with a tough run of fixtures to come for both.
Lecce vs. Torino odds
1 – Torino to win – 31/18
2 – Torino to win by a one-goal margin – 3/1
3 – Under 2.5 goals scored – 13/25
4 – Both teams to score – 16/13
5 – Antonio Sanabria to score anytime – 10/3
Lecce welcome Torino to the Stadio Via del mare on Sunday afternoon hoping to avoid three consecutive Serie A defeats. The Granata having been similarly poor in recent weeks, but will hope that the Salentini offer some brief respite in a tough run of fixtures.
Throughout the campaign, Ivan Juric’s side have become accustomed to failing to secure results despite solid performances. The coach has been very vocal in his view that the squad requires investment. But ahead of Sunday’s fixture, he will have to make do with what he has got.
For the hosts, the past few months have shown a marked improvement from their early season form. Even losing their last two games will not be of particular concern for Marco Baroni, with defeat to Inter always considered likely. As a result, the hosts will very much go into Sunday’s game with an eye to securing a result. However, we back the visitors to end their poor run of form with a win.
If the Granata do secure the win it may not be for the benefit of the neutral, as Torino’s victories have tended to be low scoring affairs this season. In fact, all but one of Juric’s side’s wins, including the reverse fixture against Lecce, has been by a one goal margin. As a result, a bet on a similarly low-scoring match may be a good idea.
On the other hand, Torino have not been at their defensive best in recent weeks, conceding four to Juventus and two to a poor Cremonese side. With Lecce also boasting just one clean sheet in the last five games, a wager on both teams to score could well pay off on Sunday.
For the visitors, if anyone is to fire them to victory, it is likely to be Antonio Sanabria. The forward has notched just six goals so far this season, but half of them have been in the last seven games. With his form improving, the Paraguayan is our tip to score anytime.
