Current streaks

Recent form

Napoli

Napoli are in scintillating form, currently sitting atop the Serie A table with 19 points from 8 matches. The Partenopei are enjoying an impressive unbeaten run, having not tasted defeat in their last 8 games. Their recent form is particularly eye-catching, with 5 wins and 1 draw in their last 6 matches across all competitions. Napoli's defensive solidity is remarkable, conceding just 1 goal in this period and keeping 5 clean sheets. Their attacking prowess is equally noteworthy, netting 15 goals at an average of 2.5 per game. Two standout performances include a 5-0 thrashing of Palermo in the Coppa Italia and a 4-0 away victory against Cagliari in Serie A. The team's goal difference of +14 in these 6 matches underscores their dominance, with half of their games featuring over 2.5 goals.

Lecce

Lecce's recent form has been particularly concerning, with the team currently languishing in 19th position in Serie A and without a win in their last six matches. The Salentini are on a worrying four-game losing streak, which includes a heavy 6-0 defeat to Fiorentina in their most recent outing - a result that significantly contributed to their poor goal difference of -12. Defensively, Lecce have been struggling, conceding an average of 2.33 goals per game over their last six matches, while their attacking output has been meagre, scoring just 0.33 goals per game in the same period. Their only clean sheet in this run came in a goalless draw against Torino, but they have failed to keep the opposition at bay in their last five games. The team's inability to find the back of the net is further highlighted by the fact that both teams have scored in only 17% of these matches, indicating a severe lack of firepower up front.

Recent home/away form

Napoli

Napoli have been in scintillating form at home, boasting an impressive five-match winning streak across all competitions. Their defensive prowess is particularly noteworthy, with four clean sheets in their last six home fixtures and a miserly average of just 0.33 goals conceded per game. The Partenopei have also been prolific in attack, netting 15 goals in their last six home matches, including a high-scoring 5-0 thrashing of Palermo in the Coppa Italia. This offensive output translates to a robust 2.5 goals scored per game, contributing to their positive goal difference of 13. Napoli's dominance at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona is further underscored by the fact that 67% of their recent home matches have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting that fans are being treated to entertaining, high-scoring affairs.

Lecce

Lecce's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the team enduring a challenging run of five consecutive defeats on the road. Their last positive result away from home was a goalless draw against Torino, which also represents their only clean sheet in this period. The Salentini have struggled offensively, managing to score just twice in their last six away matches, whilst conceding 10 goals. This defensive frailty is highlighted by their average of 1.67 goals conceded per game. Notably, Lecce have failed to score in their last three away league fixtures, suffering heavy defeats to AC Milan (3-0) and Inter Milan (2-0). Their current position of 19th in Serie A, with only 5 points from 8 games, underscores the team's overall struggles, both at home and away.
