Lecce and Mantova have a limited history of
encounters, with only six matches played between them, the most recent being a
2-2 draw in 2010. That season, Lecce won the Serie B title, while Mantova was
relegated to Serie C after finishing near the bottom of the table.
Evaluating Lecce's performance last season
is challenging. Despite expectations of relegation from Serie A, they managed
to finish fourteenth and maintain their top-flight status. However, their
performances often fell short of expectations, with luck playing a significant
role in securing points.
This is reflected in their goal difference
of 32-54. Additionally, their summer friendlies were underwhelming, with three
losses and only one win, leaving room for improvement as they head into the new
season.
But I still tip Lecce to win.
