Lecce take on the visitors Pisa in the round 15 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, December 12th at Stadio Via del Mare (Lecce).
Lecce have gradually managed to establish themselves in Serie A. They also “survived” at this level last season. Once again, luck played its part — in the 2024/2025 campaign they collected only 34 points, but even that was enough to finish in 17th place. It seems nothing has fundamentally changed this season either. Their results remain very modest, yet Italian football still has enough teams that look even weaker. However, this is certainly no reason to relax, as wins are extremely rare — only against Parma in early October and crisis-ridden Fiorentina last month. They also progressed past modest Juve Stabia in the cup before losing heavily 0-3 to Milan. And after beating Torino, they were defeated 0-2 by divisional newcomers Cremonese. Moreover, their home fixtures have often been tense and low-scoring, which underlines their ongoing struggle to maintain stability. At the same time, their ability to take points in tight matches keeps them just above the drop zone for now.

Pisa have finally earned promotion to the top flight. The Towers finally became one of the leaders of Serie B last season, proving that the decision to appoint Filippo Inzaghi had paid off. However, Pippo did not want to test himself again in Serie A, where he had previously struggled, and instead moved to Palermo, remaining in the second division — and, notably, without much success so far. His successor, Gilardino, had a difficult start in the top tier with his new squad, but in autumn Pisa at least began securing points through draws — and they even managed to beat Cremonese. At home against strong Inter, they failed to respond to two goals from last season’s runners-up. After that, they again stayed silent against Parma and conceded as well, losing once more — and this in a crucial match against a direct relegation rival. Nevertheless, Pisa have shown improvement in defensive organisation, allowing them to stay competitive in most encounters. But their attacking productivity remains inconsistent, which prevents them from climbing higher in the table.
In their four most recent encounters between 2021 and 2023, the clubs alternated wins. The Giallorossi are far more experienced in relegation battles and will also be playing on home soil. The recommended bet is on Lecce to win.
Prediction for the match: Lecce to win.
