Venezia vs Lecce Prediction & Betting Tips (25 November)

Back in the elite this season, Venice is struggling to get up to speed so far and occupies the last place in Serie A with 8 points taken in 12 games. The good news is that the red lantern is not yet out of the non-relegation zone, 2 lengths behind, but we will have to raise the level. On the tough side, Joel Pohjanpalo's partners have won only one of their last 7 championship matches, for 1 draw and 5 defeats. After winning against Udinese 3-2 , Venice lost to Inter 1-0 and Parma 1-2. Expected in the battle for maintenance this season, Lecce is currently 18th in Serie A and is 1 point ahead of his opponent of the day.

The team based in Puglia has shown serious limitations since the start of the championship and has only gleaned one success in the last 9 days, for 3 draws and 5 defeats. Nikola Krstovic's teammates won against Hellas Verona at the end of October 1-0 . Since then, they have lost at Bologna 1-0 before conceding, at home, sharing points against Empoli 1-1 .

For this meeting, the Venice coach still has to do without potentially starting midfielder Bjarkason, who is recovering from a hernia. Otherwise, it’s all hands on deck this weekend. This is particularly the case of Icelandic striker Pohjanpalo (4 goals in SA) who was the great architect of the rise acquired last year (22 goals in SB). He could still be associated with the promising Oristanio (22 years old, 1 goal and 1 assist in SA). Like the last few days, the Lecce coach cannot count on the starting midfielders Berisha and Gonzalez as well as the usual substitutes Marchwinski, Hasa, Bonifazi and Burnete, all on the flank.

In addition, the important midfielder Pierret joined the infirmary. Struggling in the offensive domain, the red lantern has the worst attack in the championship. Only Danish winger Dorgu and Montenegrin striker Krstovic have found the net so far (2 goals each).
