Bologna 1-0 Lecce

Current streaks

Recent form

Bologna

Bologna have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a notable improvement in their most recent match against Cagliari. The Rossoblù have struggled to find consistency, managing only one win in their last six games across all competitions. Their defensive record has been relatively solid, conceding just over one goal per game on average, and keeping two clean sheets. However, their attacking output has been a concern, with only 0.83 goals scored per game. The majority of Bologna's matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their last six games featuring under 2.5 goals. Their Champions League campaign has been challenging, suffering defeats to both Aston Villa and Liverpool without scoring. Despite their current 10th position in Serie A, Bologna's recent form suggests they are finding it difficult to convert draws into wins, with three of their last six matches ending in stalemates.

Lecce

Lecce's recent form has been particularly concerning, with the team enduring a difficult run of five consecutive defeats before their most recent victory against Hellas Verona. Their struggles are evident in their goal-scoring record, having found the net just once in their last six matches. Defensively, Lecce have been vulnerable, conceding a staggering 13 goals during this period, including a heavy 6-0 defeat to Fiorentina. This thrashing stands out as a particularly high-scoring game and highlights their defensive frailties. Despite their poor run, Lecce have managed to keep one clean sheet in their last outing, which may offer a glimmer of hope. The team's position of 18th in the league table reflects their challenging start to the season, with their goal difference of -12 and an average of just 0.17 goals scored per game underlining the uphill battle they face to climb out of the relegation zone.

Recent home/away form

Bologna

Bologna have been remarkably consistent in their recent home matches, securing six consecutive draws across various competitions. This impressive run of stalemates includes fixtures in Serie A, the Champions League, and a friendly match. Whilst the team has shown resilience in avoiding defeats, they have struggled to secure victories, with their last six home games yielding identical 1-1 scorelines or goalless draws, except for a high-scoring 3-3 thriller against Asteras Tripolis in a friendly. Bologna's defence has been relatively solid, conceding an average of just one goal per game and keeping two clean sheets in this period. However, their attack has mirrored this output, also averaging only one goal per game. The majority of these matches (83%) have seen under 2.5 goals, highlighting Bologna's tendency for tight, low-scoring affairs at home.

Lecce

Lecce's away form has been particularly poor, with the club enduring a challenging run of five consecutive defeats on the road. Their last six away matches have yielded just one point from a goalless draw against Torino, highlighting their struggles to find the back of the net. Lecce have failed to score in five of these six matches, managing only one goal in a friendly against Huddersfield Town. Defensively, they have conceded nine goals in this period, with their heaviest defeat coming in a 3-0 loss to AC Milan. The team's inability to score, combined with their defensive frailties, has resulted in a concerning goal difference of -8 over these six away fixtures. Despite the majority of their matches featuring under 2.5 goals, Lecce have struggled to capitalise on their defensive performances, with only one clean sheet to show for their efforts.
