An exciting match awaits us on Sunday when two teams whose status in Serie A for next season is still uncertain meet.
The hosts, Lecce, come into Sunday's game on the back of a 2-2 draw with Lazio, which was the third successive league game they failed to win. Nevertheless, Marco Baroni's men remain two points clear of the relegation zone, but need at least one win between now and the end of the season to ensure they stay in this division. When it comes to home games, Lecce are among the three Serie A teams with less than four wins and they have won just one of their last nine home games.
Spezia, meanwhile, ended their streak of nine winless games in Serie A with a 2-0 win over Milan last weekend to move out of the relegation zone. One of the main reasons why the visitors are in the relegation battle is their away record this season. Only two of their six wins this season have come away from home. Given that they have also struggled badly in recent encounters against Lecce, failing to win any of the last five meetings, a win for the visitors this weekend would be a surprise.
Lecce vs Spezia Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Looking at Lecce's recent home games in Serie A, what stands out is the lack of goals. In their last seven home games, a bet on less than 2.5 goals resulted in a win.
Considering that five of the last six away matches of the visitors ended similarly, our tip for this match is 'under 2.5 goals'.
- Best bet: Under 2.5 goals

Lecce team news
Lameck Banda's yellow card in last weekend's 2-2 draw with Lazio was his fifth of the season, meaning he will serve a one-match suspension.
The 22-year-old will be joined on the sidelines by Kastriot Dermaku, who is recovering from a muscle injury, but otherwise head coach Marco Baroni has no other worries.
