Lecce vs Lazio predictions and odds: A smooth start

Last season, Lazio performed well when they won 22 matches, drew 8 and lost 8 times after 38 matches, thereby ranking 2nd in the Italian league table - meaning a ticket to the European Cup.

Back to this year's season, the Rome capital team is of course in the championship candidate group and they are confident to aim for a complete 3-point result on the opening day.

According to the schedule, Lazio has an easy trip to Lecce's field and 3 points is an easy task for Sarri's teachers and students. Remember, Lazio are in good form when they won 4/6 friendly matches in the summer of 2023. More broadly, they won 12 times and lost 5 in the last 18 matches in all competitions.

Returning to the home team, Lecce is also in good form when unbeaten in 3 friendlies in the summer and recently won 1-0 against Como in the Italian National Cup. But if you look at the actual performance in Serie A, Lecce is not a reliable choice. Should know, they have lost up to 10 and won 2 times in the last 15 rounds in the No. 1 Italian tournament.

- Lecce: Falcone; Gendrey, Pongracic, Baschirotto, Dorgu; Ramadani, Rafia, Gonzalez; Strefezza, Almqvist, Banda.

- Lazio: Provenel; Lazzari, Casale, Romagnoli, Marusic; Vecino, Cataldi, Alberto; Anderson, Immobile, Zaccagni.
