Lecce vs Torino Prediction: Will the guests be able to repeat their success in the away game?

Sunday's program of the 26th round of the Italian championship starts with an early match between Lecce and Torino. Pomegranate side beat the Giallorossi 1:0 in the first round. Will they be able to repeat that success in the away game?

In the first half of February, the team scored seven points in three games and managed to beat Atalanta on the road (2:1), as well as take points away from Roma (1:1). But then they suffered two dry defeats in a row - 0:1 at home to Sassuolo and 0:2 away to Inter. The Giallorossi are still too inexperienced, and they play the same way with every opponent - aggressively, from defense, without the ball, and on the counterattack. The ability to adjust to a particular opponent is a lot of more experienced teams. However, even after two defeats in a row, Lecce may feel comfortable having a nine-point handicap from the relegation zone.

In the previous matchday, the Pomegranates achieved an important success when they beat Bologna 1:0 on their home field. The Turin side kept a tough opponent from effectively playing their football based on ball control and converted one of the few chances they had at the other side's goal, ruining the Red and Blue's attacking moves. Jan Karamo scored the winning goal in the middle of the first half.

This win over Bologna was important for Torino because, before that, the team had only scored one point in three rounds, losing to AC Milan (0:1) and, more importantly, in the derby to Juventus (2:4) and played a draw with league underdog Cremonese (2:2). Now Torino is, by and large, back in the race for the European Cup zone. There are currently eight points separating the Pomegranate side from the top-6.

Strangely, bookmakers offer such big quotes for the upcoming game on the top side. Torino scored two goals in this championship in ten out of thirteen away matches. In Lecce's home games, ten out of 12. There is a good chance that the opponents will score two goals apiece in this encounter. As an outcome, let's consider the odds that Torino will score at least one point. The team is too much stronger than their next opponent, and it is no accident that they sit so high in the current championship standings.
