Hellas Verona have failed to win at least seven Serie A games in a row (4D, 3L) for the first time since the 14 consecutive (5D, 9L) combined between September and December 2023, with Marco Baroni as coach.
Fourth goal in Serie A for Diego Coppola (second in this league): since the beginning of last season (2023/24), among the central defenders currently present in Serie A only Federico Gatti and Gianluca Mancini (five each) have scored more goals than him (four in fact).
Nikola Krstovic has scored his 11th goal in Serie A this season: in the last 20 seasons (since 2005/06) only Marco Mancosu (14 in 2019/20) has scored more in a single tournament with Lecce.
After going unbeaten in nine successive games (W6 D3), Hellas Verona lost their last Serie A match against Lecce (0-1 in the reverse fixture) and could suffer back-to-back defeats against the Salentini for only the second time in the competition (2001).
Lecce have never won against Hellas Verona in nine Serie A matches on the road (D4 L5), against no team have the Pugliesi played more away games in the competition without winning (nine also against Genoa).
Hellas Verona have lost their last three league matches without scoring, the last time the Gialloblù suffered four defeats in a row in Serie A overall was back to last November-December. Additionally, the last time that they lost four successive meetings whilst also failing to find the net was in March 2014 under Andrea Mandorlini.
Hellas Verona have failed to score in 10 of their 17 home games in Serie A this season and could fail to find the net a record amount of times on their own patch in a single top-flight season with one more (10 also in 1988/89).
Lecce are winless in their last 12 league games (D4 L8), with their last win coming in January against Parma on the road (3-1). Their last longest run came between November 1997-March 1998 (16 in a row in that case).
