Empoli vs Lecce Betting Analysis
Empoli Preview
The increased pressure on Monday will be on Empoli, who sit just above the relegation places in the current Serie A standings. However, there has been reason for optimism in recent months, as Aurelio Andreazzoli has picked up eleven points from his first ten matches in charge of the team. That is as many points as the former boss had picked up from his opening ten matches in charge.
Scoring goals haven’t been an issue for the hosts in recent weeks, as they have averaged 1.5 goals per game across their last four. That is an excellent return to form after failing to score in nine of their last eleven before the start of that sequence. Their attacking threat in one of the most competitive soccer leagues could be a big factor behind their chances to win in the odds to win Serie A on Monday.
Lecce Preview
Lecce will be one of the soccer teams in Italy that will be keeping a close eye on teams in the relegation spots. They come into this match sitting just five points clear of the bottom three places, and they have really struggled for form over their last five, having failed to register a win over that period. However, they have been difficult to beat in recent weeks, as they have played out draws in each of their last three matches in Serie A.
That run of draws is a massive change in fortunes for the visitors, and they will be looking to avoid drawing four straight fixtures in the top flight for the first time since November 2019. However, they haven’t recorded a victory in the division since claiming a 1-0 home success against Genoa in September.
Updates
A key piece of Empoli vs Lecce betting analysis is the latest team news. The hosts will be without Tommaso Baldanzi and Giuseppe Pezzella this week. Meanwhile, Lecce will come into this match without the injured pair of Pontus Almqvist and Jeppe Corfitzen.
