Como vs Lecce Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

One point separates these two sides.

Como are set to take on Lecce at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on Monday in round 18 of Serie A action. Cesc Fabregas’s side have never beaten the visitors so it will be an interesting battle to watch out for. 

Como have failed to maintain their grip on Serie A so far after their promotion from the second division. They are currently languishing in 16 position having accumulated 15 points from the 17 they have played. Despite pulling some big wins over Atalanta and AS Roma, they are yet to secure results consistently. In their last 11 matches, they have just managed to win once, against Roma, losing the other six and drawing four.

Lecce on the other hand have also endured a tough start this season. They are languishing in the 15th spot one point above their opponents on Monday. Marco Giampaolo’s side are for now on the safer side but will have to start winning games as two points separate them from the relegation zone. In the last match, they secured two wins, one draw, and lost two with Lazio being the latest one.

Nico Paz (⁠Como)

What a season he is having for Como, the young prodigy has already caught the eye of everyone with his performances. This season, Nico Paz has scored two goals in the league while also assisting another three. His good run of form saw him receive his first-ever cap with the Argentina national team. Despite being just 20 years old, he is already leading the team with his chance creation (32) while also creating the most big chances (6).

Nikola Krstovic (Lecce)

Nikola Krstovic has been performing brilliantly for Lecce in the last few matches. This season, he has scored four goals in the league and is currently their top scorer. However, most of his goals have come in the last three matches where he has netted two times to carry on his good run of form. Krstovic will be the player to look out for in this game as he can come up with goals.
