Verona vs Lecce » Prediction, Watch Live + Odds & Stats 21.01.2023

In what looks set to be a very close game on Saturday in Serie A, Hellas Verona host Lecce.

Going into the games this weekend, Hellas Verona are in the bottom three in Serie A, and they know even a win won't be enough to get them out, as they sit seven points off the pace.

We've seen more from them recently, which will no doubt give them hope, and even when losing, there are positives to take. Beaten by Inter Milan last weekend, but they did only lose 1-0 and prior to that, they beat Cremonese and drew with Torino, so there is a platform for them to build on here.

Lecce have done a great job recently of making themselves very tough to beat. In their last six, they've won three and drawn three, working their way up the table, and the top half is certainly not out of their reach right now.

Most recently, they've drawn two games in a row, a 2-2 draw with AC Milan last weekend and a 0-0 draw away at Spezia before that.

Hellas Verona will have to wait a little longer for the return of their captain Marco Faraoni, who is due back towards the end of the month while new loan signing Jayden Braaf could be involved.

Given how well they played against AC Milan, and the fact they come here injury and suspension free, it would be no surprise if Leece went with few or no changes here.

Both teams are showing a good level of form right now, even though Hellas Verona are still in the relegation zone. However, what both are also struggling with is constantly winning, and for that reason, the draw may be the best way to go here. This could simply be a case of both teams being good enough to ensure they don't lose, but also not quite good enough to take all three points.
