Lecce will entertain Bologna at the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare in Serie A on Sunday. The hosts have six wins in 23 games and are in 14th place in the league table with 23 points. I Rossoblù have fared a little better with nine wins and are in seventh place with 37 points.
I Salentini returned to winning ways after two consecutive losses last week, recording a 3-1 away win over Parma. Nikola Krstović equalized in the 36th minute and Santiago Pierotti bagged a second-half brace to help his side register a comeback win.
The visitors have maintained their unbeaten start to 2025. They registered a 2-0 home triumph over Como in Serie A last week. Lorenzo De Silvestri scored in the first half and Giovanni Fabbian doubled their lead in the second half. They continued their winning run in the Coppa Italia quarterfinal, with a 1-0 away triumph over Atalanta on Tuesday.

Lecce vs Bologna Prediction
The Salentini have won two of their last four league games, though both wins were registered in their travels. They are winless in their last three home games, failing to score in two. They are winless in their last seven home meetings against the visitors, failing to score in four.
Filip Marchwinski is a long-term absentee with an ACL injury. Hamza Rafia did not participate in full group training and is a doubt. Lameck Banda and Kialonda Gaspar took part in full training and should start from the bench here.
The Rossoblù are unbeaten in their eight games in 2025, recording four wins. They have drawn five of their last seven away games and will look to improve upon that record. They have won six of their last eight games in this fixture and are strong favorites.
Riccardo Orsolini and Lewis Ferguson remain sidelined with injuries. Fellow attacker Jens Odgaard was injured against Atalanta on Tuesday and is likely to be sidelined for at least two weeks.
The visitors have been the better side in recent games in this fixture and should be able to make the most of Lecce's poor home form, to eke out a narrow win.
