Palermo vs Lecce
My view
I actually slightly favour Palermo, despite Lecce being the Serie A side.
- 🏠 Home advantage is significant — Palermo have been strong at the Renzo Barbera, and this is a knockout match.
- 🔥 Palermo have shown attacking quality in pre-season, including a 2–0 win over Melbourne City.
⚠️ Lecce are missing several players, including Jamil Siebert, Medon Berisha, Ylber Ramadani and Riccardo Sottil, which weakens their options.
- 📊 Palermo have also historically had the better of this matchup. Their last five meetings include four Palermo wins and one draw
- The market is unusually close: current prices reported around 2.35 Palermo / 3.30 draw / 3.00 Lecce, suggesting this isn’t a straightforward Serie A-vs-Serie B mismatch.
OUR VERDICT:BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE-YES
