Lecce hosts L.R. Vicenza in round 18 of Italian Serie B. The match will be played on Thursday, January 13th at Stadio Via del Mare (Lecce)
The Wolves were able to remind about themselves in the season before last. But despite the quite decent level of football, Lecce didn’t manage to stay in Serie A. In the 2020/2021 championship, there was a struggle to get back to the elite, but with an unsuccessful outcome: only 4th place in the regular season and the subsequent defeat in the playoffs. Under Marco Baroni, Lecce is among the leaders. Having managed to play only 17 matches in 2021, the club scored 31 points in them. Moreover, after the 1st round, there were no defeats until Matchday 17 when the Wolves lost to Pisa away (1-0). However, then they managed to knock Spezia out of the cup in the away match.

This year Vicenza will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the victory in the Italian Cup. It remains the main achievement in the history of this club. However, the White and Reds won silver medals in 1978. But in 2018, they had to go through bankruptcy and restart. At first, L.R. Vicenza showed quite good results and managed to get into Serie B in 2020, where it took 12th position in the standings. Now the White and Reds are incredibly far away from it as they failed the start of a new draw. They managed to gain only two victories and seven points. With such indicators, Vicenza is located at the very bottom of the tournament standings. But it is noteworthy that it beat both Pordenone and Crotone away. In general, Vicenza is unlikely to survive in the league, but it can trip someone up.
Lecce didn’t play against Vicenza for a long time after 2010. The teams again got into Serie B in the previous season, and then the Wolves were able to gain victories on both pitches with an identical 2-1 score. Of course, a lot could have changed in a month. But it will be a game between one of the leaders and the underdog. We bet on the victory of the hosts with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Lecce to win with -1.0 handicap
