Boasting a one-goal advantage from their first leg in Lecco last week, Pordenone will be looking to book their place in the final stages of playoffs at the Stadio Guido Teghil on Wednesday. 

Scoring an 86th-minute penalty to secure their advantage, another nail-biting occasion is on the cards in beautiful Lignano Sabbiadoro.

Pordenone vs Lecco Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals

Now favourite to progress to the final and, with it, a chance to secure promotion to Serie B, Pordenone only need to avoid defeat in what should prove a likely tight contest.

Protecting that narrow advantage, a cagey affair seems likely, as has been the case in both of two previous meetings between these sides, with under 1.5 goals occurring in both games this year. Pordenone did score a thumping 5:0 win when these sides met at this venue last year; however, with so much at stake, it´s hard to see a repeat of that dominant victory.Lecco have struggled of late, though with no wins in their last five, while their performances on the road will do little to inspire much confidence in their travelling support.

Indeed, while Lecco´s away form is not great, with the visitors winning just two of their previous 12 away Serie C games, Pordenone´s recent form has been a little inconsistent, with only five wins in their last 12, and three of their six most recent games at Stadio Guido Teghii. Four of their five most recent home fixtures saw fewer than three goals scored, with Pordenone themselves only scoring more than one goal in one of those five fixtures.

Ultimately, given the tight nature of their two previous contests, and with a place in the Serie B promotion final at stake, we expect this fixture to go under 2.5 goals, with Pordenone likely having enough quality to avoid defeat, and with it book their ticket to next week´s final.
