Since returning to the Italian top-flight division in the 2022/23 season, Lecce has been a relegation candidate in the following seasons, finishing 16th and 14th. Still, they managed to survive and have the same task this season. For now, they are keeping them above the danger zone as they are in 14th with 23 points from 23 matches - three points away from the relegation places. They can easily slip back down with only one or two poor games, so it is crucial to win points at home.
Bologna had a magnificent last season, securing fifth place and reaching the Champions League. This season, after a rough period at the start, they started playing a lot better and are currently on an eight-game unbeaten run across the competition. While they were eliminated from the Champions League, they are doing well in the domestic competitions. They reached the Coppa Italia Semi-Finals with a win over Atalanta in the last match and are in 7th in Serie A with only two points away from European spots. Even the Champions League isn't far - just five points and Bologna has a game played less than fourth-placed Fiorentina.
Lecce vs Bologna pick: Both teams to score
Lecce had massive problems offensively this season. However, in the latest games, they did well, scoring a total of seven goals in four matches - 1.75 per game. That is almost a goal above their season's average of 0.78 goals per game. So, we believe they could score once in this home game as well.
Meanwhile, Bologna are doing really well. They are undefeated in the last eight games in all competitions, but more importantly for our bet, they scored at least a goal in the previous 11 games in all competitions. Also, away from home, 64% of Bologna's Serie A games (seven out of 11) finished with both teams scoring. Only Empoli, Udinese, and AC Milan have more games with both teams scoring (on the road).
We believe that Bologna are a much better team, but we do not trust them away from home as they only won four out of 11 Serie A games. Instead, considering all the above, we are convinced that both teams to score bet is the best option for this Serie A game.

Lecce team news
Winger Jasper Karlsson will be unavailable for the upcoming game since he is on a loan deal from Bologna. He arrived on January 4th and mostly came off the bench. In the last match against Parma, he got the opportunity to start but was among the worst players on the team.
Lameck Banda, Medon Berisha, Kialonda Gaspar, Joan Gonzalez, Filip Marchwinski, and Hamza Rafia, who missed the previous games with injuries, should remain sidelined.

Bologna team news
In the previous game against Atalanta, Jens Odgaard suffered an injury and had to leave the field after only 40 minutes. He will most likely miss the upcoming game against Lecce. Besides Odgaard, Riccardo Orsolini and Lewis Ferguson, who missed the previous games with injuries, should remain sidelined as well.
