Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Out-of-sorts Lecce will look to put an end to their four-game losing run in all competitions when they face Bologna in the Serie A round 5. The Giallorossi suffered a dip in form and given their shaky defence, home win should not be considered this time out. To make things even worse for the home team, important defender Jamil Siebert misses out through suspension.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Genoa. Bologna continue with fine performances at their Stadio Renato Dall’Ara and given Lecce’s poor form in September, we believe that the time has come for Vincenzo Italiano’s troops to record their first away win of the process. Both Ciro Immobile and Nicolo Casale remain in the treatment room, while duo Oussama El Azzouzi – Lysaker Heggem will be assessed ahead of the kick-offf.
