Bologna to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/5 @ Bet365<\/a>
(55.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBologna have nearly double Lecce’s goals this season (40 vs 21) and a much superior home record in recent meetings. Lecce are winless in the last 9 head-to-heads and have struggled defensively, conceding 43 goals in 31 matches.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Under 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n8\/11 @ Betfair<\/a>
(57.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nLecce’s attacking struggles are clear (0.68 goals per game), and despite Bologna’s stronger numbers, their matches often remain tight. 5 of the last 9 meetings have seen two or fewer goals.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
