Parma vs Lecce Predictions

• Leece have conceded 19 goals in 11 away league matches this term – scoring just six in response.

• The last four match-ups have featured totals of 4, 6, 4 and 7 goals.

Parma to pick up crucial victory

Parma and Lecce are languishing at the wrong end of the Serie A standings but Friday’s hosts have looked the more progressive recent matches and a home win on Friday is our prediction.

You wouldn’t think so to look at recent results but Parma were just minutes away from a shock victory in San Siro on Sunday before two added-time goals handed Milan a 3-2 victory.

Prior to that Parma drew 1-1 with Venezia and they have steadied the ship following a three-match losing streak in December.

Recent meetings with Lecce have gone well for the Gialloblu and they are fancied to get the better of their visitors on Friday.

Leaky Lecce look a soft touch

These sides are both locked on 20 points after 22 matches but Parma are above this week’s hosts courtesy of a better goal difference, with Lecce shipping goals at an alarming rate.

The Giallorossi have conceded nine goals across their last three league outings and they have conceded at least two goals in six of their last seven tussles with Parma.

Parma have scored at least two goals in three of their last four matches on home soil, and they are fancied to win 3-1 in a crucial contest at the bottom of the table.
