Lecce vs Salernitana Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - September 1, 2023

Lecce vs Salernitana
Italian Serie A
Date: 3 September 2023, Sunday
Kick-off at 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
Venue: Stadio Comunale Via del Mare (Lecce).

Lecce and Salernitana will drop the curtain on Gameweek No 3 in the 2023/24 Serie A campaign in the derby of south Italy on Sunday evening at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare.

Both teams go into the tie unbeaten after the opening two rounds but Lecce’s fans are certainly happier with four out of six points so far in the campaign.

The fact the hosts have collected as many as points despite facing the likes of Lazio and Fiorentina along the way is pretty impressive for the team’s new boss Roberto D’Aversa.

D’Aversa can be thrilled with the physical condition of his players as Lecce have been the most dangerous in the final stages of both games, scoring a couple of second-half goals against both Lazio and Fiorentina.

Salernitana’s players have also shown decent form, holding Roma and Udinese to draws in the inaugural two rounds.

The visitors are unbeaten in four consecutive games across competitions, including a 2-1 win over Augsburg in the final preseason test.

On top of fine starts in the league, both outfits jumped above their maiden obstacles in Coppa Italia via respective 1-0 wins over Como and Ternana.

Lecce vs Salernitana Head-to-head

• Salernitana ended a streak of six straight winless affairs against Lecce by beating them 1-2 in January last year at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare.
• Overall, Lecce lead the H2H tie by 4 wins going into the 17th clash against Salernitana.
• We have seen goals at both ends in three of the last four head to head outings.

Lecce vs Salernitana Prediction

Lecce have scored two goals in second halves of each of their inaugural two games of the season. We like them at 1.66 to find the back of the net in the second half of Sunday’s home match against Salernitana.

Both teams have been more impressive offensively than defensively so far in the season. We also saw goals at both ends in three of the previous four head to head games. The Both Teams To Score option certainly offers value at the 1.95 odds.
