Napoli vs Lecce Prediction and Betting Tips | October 26th 2024

The Italian Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Napoli play host to Lecce at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona on Saturday. Having failed to win their previous four meetings between the two teams, Luca Gotti’s men will head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts and snap their four-game losing streak.

Napoli maintained their impressive early-season form in Serie A as they held on to see out a 1-0 victory over Empoli at the Estadio Carlo Castellani last Sunday.

Antonio Conte’s men have won four games on the bounce and are unbeaten in their last eight matches, claiming seven wins and one draw since kicking off the league campaign with a 3-0 defeat against Hellas Verona in August.

With 19 points from eight matches, Napoli currently lead the way at the top of the Serie A standings, two points above second-placed Inter Milan.

Lecce, on the other hand, failed to stop the rot last Sunday when they suffered a 5-0 hammering against Fiorentina at the Stadio Via del Mare.

Gotti’s men have now lost four straight games across all competitions — including a 2-0 defeat against Sassuolo in the Coppa Italia on September 24 — and are without a win in their last six outings since the start of September.

Lecce have picked up just five points from their eight Serie A matches this season to sit bottom but one in the league standings, just one point above last-placed Venezia.
