Lecce welcomes Como to the Stadio Ettore Giardiniero - Via del Mare in a pivotal Italian Serie A clash. Lecce, currently in 14th place, is battling to avoid relegation, holding a four-point advantage over the drop zone. Their attack has been struggling, scoring a league-low 11 goals in 15 matches. Despite recent inconsistencies, including a 1-0 win against Pisa that ended a two-game losing streak, Lecce has maintained an unbeaten home record in their last three matches. Como occupies seventh place, six points away from the Champions League spots. Although they've suffered two consecutive defeats against Inter Milan and Roma, their defense remains solid, conceding only 12 goals in 15 games, the third-best defensive record in Serie A. In their earlier season encounter, Como secured a 3-0 victory over Lecce. Lecce is expected to rely on their home advantage and their fight to stay up, potentially employing a defensive counter-attacking strategy. They may look to exploit the pace of players like Stulac to create scoring chances. Como, under coach Cesc Fàbregas, favors a possession-based approach. While their key striker, Morata, is out due to injury, they still have attacking threats like Duvi and Adou. Como has remained unbeaten against Lecce in the last five years, and Fàbregas has two wins against them since he became manager. Overall, Como possesses a stronger squad, but Lecce's home resilience could be a decisive factor. The prediction is under 2.25 goals.
