Palermo FC vs LeccePrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Palermo meet Lecce at the Renzo Barbera after two build-ups shaped by very different opponents. The home side lost 2-0 to Juventus in Turin, beat Melbourne City 2-0, drew 1-1 with Iraklis 1908 and 2-2 with Nurnberg, and thumped Paradiso 7-0, the one outsized result in the run. Leave that game aside and no match went beyond four goals in total. Lecce mixed tight scorelines with a single rout: 1-0 against Monopoli, 5-2 against Bistrica, 2-2 with Istra 1961, a 1-0 home defeat by Politehnica Timisoara and 1-0 away at Szombathelyi Haladas. Again, take out the seven-goal afternoon and everything stays within four. The previous meetings all predate 2020 and favour Palermo: 4-2 in February 2011, 2-0 that October, 1-1 in March 2012, 2-1 in Lecce in October 2018 and 2-1 in March 2019. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
