Venezia vs Lecce

Lecce are unbeaten across their four matches against Venezia in Serie A (W2 D2), the joint-most times they’ve faced a side in the competition without ever losing (Monza also four). The two teams will face each other in the top-flight after 22 years and 240 days, since 30 March 30 2002 (Lecce won 2-1 at the Via del Mare).

Both previous meetings between Venezia and Lecce played at the Stadio Penzo in Serie A have ended in draws: 0-0 on 2 April 2000 and 1-1 on 25 November 2001 (exactly 23 years since this match).

Venezia have failed to win their last seven matches against teams that have started the matchday MD in the bottom three of the Serie A standings (D4 L3).

Lecce are unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 matches against newly promoted teams in Serie A (W5 D6), drawing the last three in succession whilst the only defeat in that period was on 28 January 2024 (1-2 against Genoa).

Lecce, who have scored the fewest goals across the Big-5 European leagues this season, have scored five goals in their first 12 seasonal Serie A games for the second time in their history, after 1990/91. They have always scored at least six goals after their first 13 matches in a single Serie A campaign.
