Face to face between two of the worst defenses in Serie A. No other club has conceded more goals than Verona, 21. Lecce third from last for the impermeability of their goal with 19 goals against.
Not only that.
The yellow-blues are coming off a 1-6 draw against Atalanta. While the Giallorossi, two rounds ago, suffered a 0-6 defeat from Fiorentina.
It is therefore unlikely that the next Lecce-Verona match will end with a draw, i.e. a 0-0 draw. Also because it isn’t score more recurring. In fact, the last 3 matches all ended with a result of 0-1. A trio that has led this numerical combination to be the most recurrent with 5 appearances out of 22 previous matches between Serie A and the second division.
The accounting of the direct clashes sees 11 successes for the Salentos, 5 draws, 6 successes for the Scaligeri.
In the championship the hosts have 5 points (1W – 2X – 6P with 3GF and 19GS), 4 of which at Giardiniero – Via del Mare (1W – 1X – 2P with 3GF and 12GS). Guests stationed at 9 (3W – 0X – 6P with 13GF and 21GS), a third, 3, caught far from Bentegodi (1W – 0X – 3P with 6GF and 11GS).
It should be noted that Gotti’s team continues to be the smallest goal cooperative with only 2 scorers after 9 rounds of the championship. While Zanetti’s contribution to goals from the bench is behind only Lazio with 4 goals.
