Lecce vs Monza Prediction

The Salentini conceded more than twice in a match for the first time since October last week and will look to improve upon that record. They are unbeaten in their last four home meetings against Monza, though three games have ended in draws.

Balthazar Pierret, Lameck Banda, Kevin Bonifazi, Antonino Gallo, and Kialonda Gaspar continue to be sidelined with injuries. Filip Marchwinski and Andy Pelmard resumed training and face late fitness tests.

I Brianzoli have lost five of their last seven games, failing to score in four. Interestingly, just two of their seven losses in Serie A this season have been registered in their travels.

Matteo Pessina, Roberto Gagliardini, Alessio Cragno, Samuele Vignato, and Andrea Petagna are unlikely to start here. Milan Đurić faces a late fitness test and is a doubt.

Both teams have struggled in the final third recently and, considering their lengthy absentee list, a low-scoring draw is likely to ensue.

Prediction: Lecce 1-1 Monza
