Lecce vs Bologna Lineups, Prediction, Betting Picks & Odds

Lecce vs Bologna Game Preview

Lecce hosts Bologna at Stadio Ettore Giardiniero - Via del Mare, and the Lecce vs Bologna betting odds make the visitors the moneyline favorite at +105 (William Hill).

Lecce sits 12th in the Serie A standings. Eusebio Di Francesco's side leans on aggression, long balls and set pieces to make this an uncomfortable trip for anyone.

Bologna arrives 19th in the standings. It has failed to win its last 6 games in Serie A, and Raffaele Palladino's side badly needs a result.

Bologna is unbeaten in its last 11 games against Lecce in all competitions. The flip side: Lecce has tied its last 3 home games against Bologna in all competitions.

Lecce vs Bologna Recent Results

Lecce has won 4 of its last 10 games against all opponents, a respectable return for a mid-table side. The identity is clear: win the ball back, go direct, attack down the right and hunt set pieces. Lassana Coulibaly and Danilo Veiga are fixtures in the lineup, while Santiago Pierotti gives the right side its bite.

Bologna has won just 2 of its last 10 games against all opponents. Raffaele Palladino took over from Domenico Tedesco and opened with a tie against Torino on September 19, but the slump hasn't lifted yet. The quality is still there, with Lewis Ferguson driving the midfield and Riccardo Orsolini supplying the end product from the right.

Lecce vs Bologna Same Game Parlay

Our Lecce vs Bologna Same Game Parlay picks go all-in on player props: Lewis Ferguson fouls, a Danilo Veiga card, a Federico Bernardeschi shot on target and Roberto Piccoli shots.

Lewis Ferguson Over 1.5 Player Fouls is the steadiest leg. Ferguson has committed 2+ fouls in every outing this season, five appearances running, and Lecce's busy midfield will keep him engaged.

Danilo Veiga To Be Shown A Card fits the matchup. The Lecce fullback has picked up a card twice across his last three outings and faces Bologna's left-sided attack.

Federico Bernardeschi Over 0.5 Player Shots On Target needs minutes, since he's outside the probable XI. He's still found the target in four of his past five turns on the field.

Roberto Piccoli Over 2.5 Player Shots backs the central striker in a width-heavy system. Piccoli has fired 3 or more shots in three of his past four outings.

At the time of writing, this Same Game Parlay pays a best price of +778 and is as short as +683 elsewhere. That's a $10 difference in potential winnings, best to worst.

Lecce vs Bologna Talking Points

The headline individual battle is Riccardo Orsolini against a Lecce defense that struggles with skillful players and counterattacks. Orsolini has found the net in all four of his career appearances against Lecce in Serie A, and he is in line to start on the right of Bologna's front three. Lecce's answer is aggression: win the ball, go long and turn this into a set-piece game, where Bologna's aerial issues come into play. Off the field, Bologna signed veteran defender Matteo Darmian on a free transfer on October 8, adding experience to a squad missing Emil Holm and Jens Odgaard.
