Bologna vs Lecce prediction 11.02.2024

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: 11th February 2024
• Kickoff: 14:00 UTC / 15:00 CET
• Venue: Renato Dall’Ara

Bologna aims to maintain their aspiration for a top five finish as they welcome Lecce at Stadio Olimpico on Sunday afternoon.

The hosts had an impressive 2022-23 campaign, ending up in the upper half of the table, although not many predicted they would sustain that performance this season. At present, Thiago Motta’s team is in the sixth position, just two points short of the European spots, having only lost two out of their last dozen matches across all competitions.

Lecce narrowly escaped relegation in their comeback season to the Italian top league and currently find themselves in a similar situation. They are only six points clear of the relegation zone. Despite this, they will approach this weekend’s game with high confidence, following their 3-2 victory over Fiorentina in their previous match.

Bologna vs Lecce Betting Tips: Home team to win

Bologna has been nearly indomitable at Renato Dall’Ara since their initial season home game loss to AC Milan. The Rossoblù have maintained an unbeaten streak in their past ten league home games, securing eight wins and two draws. They’ve even triumphed over strong teams like Lazio, Roma, and Atalanta, suggesting that defeating Lecce this weekend should not present a significant hurdle.

Lecce achieved an impressive victory over Fiorentina in their last match, but their performance on the road this season has been far from strong. Roberto D’Aversa’s squad has failed to secure a win in any of their ten away games in the Serie A, experiencing defeat in the last four. Additionally, Lecce has a poor track record against the hosting team.

• Best Tip: Home win
