The core of the match will hinge on how each team navigates their tactical shortcomings and capitalises on their strengths. Lecce's defensive system is the foundation of their game. They rely on a low-block, compact defensive line, especially at home, supported by a midfield that prioritizes interceptions. Their set-piece delivery and swift counter-attacks from the flanks are their most potent attacking weapons, with nearly 60% of their goals coming from set plays. They rely on the individual brilliance of their attacking players in settled attacking phases. However, Lecce's attack is notably weak, with a lack of creativity in open play and inefficient midfield transitions. Their defence struggles against rapid counter-attacks, and injuries or suspensions to key players further reduce their tactical flexibility. Como focuses on midfield control and swift attacking transitions. Their 54% average possession showcases their passing ability, employing short passing in the middle and combining it with wing play to consistently pressure their opponents' defence. Their counter-attacking speed is a significant advantage, with the attacking players' impact being crucial in breaking down defences. However, their weaknesses are equally critical: their defence is slow to react, high pressing leaves space behind, and their defensive fragility is amplified away from home, conceding over two goals per game on average. Furthermore, the game's outcome heavily depends on the early stages, with only an 11% comeback rate after conceding the first goal.
