Lecce 2026/27 Serie A Preview
Lecce have won twice and been beaten heavily three times. Eusebio Di Francesco’s side opened with a 2-0 at Venezia and beat Monza 3-2, but lost 4-0 at home to Roma and 3-0 at Milan, and 10 conceded in five games is among the worst records in Serie A.
Tiago Gabriel and Lassana Coulibaly share the scoring on two apiece. Ivan Ilić takes most of the corners. Wladimiro Falcone has made 27 saves, second only to Carnesecchi, which tells you how much defending Lecce are doing.
Seventeenth and 38 points last season was a survival scrap that went to the wire, and this looks like another one. Five goals in five is the problem at one end and the pattern of heavy defeats is the problem at the other.

Lecce’s set-piece specialists
- Penalties: Tiago Gabriel Coelho Oliveira
- Free-Kicks: Ivan Ilic
- Corners: Ivan Ilic, Youssef Maleh
Ivan Ilic has taken 6 of Lecce’s corners to Youssef Maleh’s 5. Ivan Ilic has had one of the direct free-kicks. Lecce are yet to be awarded a penalty, so the taker is unproven – Tiago Gabriel Coelho Oliveira, their leading scorer, is the likeliest candidate.
