Parma – Lecce Predictions and Preview

• Parma is above the relegation zone solely due to their goal difference. The last dangerous spot is currently occupied by Lecce, making this a significant match. The hosts would have been in a better position had they not conceded twice in stoppage time in their 3-2 loss to AC Milan last Sunday. Defensive concerns continue to hinder them, with only two clubs conceding more goals than the Crusaders (39) this term, one of whom is their opponent!
• Fans will hope that a return home can provide relief in their fight to extend their top-flight stay. Parma have won seven points in their last four home league games (two wins, one draw, and one loss). In that sequence, they scored 14 goals, with ten of them coming after the break. Another exciting finish could be on offer here, especially since Parma scored twice in added time to salvage a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture!
• Lecce travel on the back of consecutive defeats, conceding four goals each time. This is not an isolated incident, as no team has conceded 4+ goals in more league matches than the Giallorossi (five) in this campaign. This is accompanied by a league-low 15 goals scored, which does little to allay fears over extending their three-season Serie A stay.
• Improvements are therefore needed at both ends of the pitch. Lecce are in danger of losing three games in a row for the first time since October. Their seven defeats in their last nine away league games (with two wins) suggest they may fall to this unwanted feat. However, both those wins came across their last five trips, coinciding with goals scored in four games during that sequence. This is a distinct improvement from a run of six scoring failures at the start of their away campaign.
• Players to watch:
  * Matteo Cancellieri was sent off in the reverse fixture, but he comes here after scoring the match opener in Parma’s loss to Milan. His two strikes at home this season have been the third goal of the match.
  * Nikola Krstović gave Lecce a 2-0 lead in the reverse fixture, while his last two goals came in a rare away win for the visitors.
• Hot stat: Only Lazio have seen more match goals beyond the 75th minute than Parma (20) this league season.
