Como vs Lecce Prediction 28 February 2026
📢 Can Como secure three points in their Serie A Matchday 27 clash against Lecce at their home ground, Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia? The season has been a tale of contrasts for these teams: the "Larians" continue to surprise and remain in the hunt for a Champions League spot, while the "Salentians" have slipped into the relegation zone after the last round and are in desperate need of points. With both sides highly motivated, this match promises to be intense.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Como and Lecce features just six matches in recent years. During this period, the Larians have claimed victory three times, two matches ended in draws, and Lecce emerged victorious once. In the first round, Como decisively defeated the Salentians away with a commanding 3-0 scoreline.
Head-to-head statistics Como - Lecce
Como 1907 Team Overview
🔵 Como are having a strong season. Yes, there have been rough patches where the team dropped points in consecutive matches, but they consistently found the strength to bounce back and return to winning ways. Currently, the "Larians" sit sixth with 45 points, just five points shy of the top four. This progress is particularly impressive considering that just a couple of seasons ago, the club was competing in Serie B.
⚪ Last weekend, Como secured a crucial victory by defeating Juventus away with a 2-0 scoreline. Winning in Turin is a rare feat, even if the "Old Lady" are far from their best form right now. The victory was well-deserved: the visitors played solidly in defense and were significantly sharper in attack.

Lecce Team Overview
🔴 Lecce have collected nearly half the points of Como, sitting with just 24 points after 26 rounds, placing them 18th on the table, right in the relegation zone. However, the bottom of the league remains tightly contested: Cremonese and Fiorentina have the same number of points and are only higher due to a better goal difference, meaning the situation could change dramatically in just one matchday.
🟡 Last weekend, the "Salentini" hosted Inter, who are in excellent form. Despite Inter fielding a semi-reserve lineup, Lecce couldn't secure any points, suffering a 0-2 defeat. The hosts held their ground for much of the match and kept the tension alive, but ran out of steam towards the end, conceding both goals after the 75th minute.

Latest news
Como 1907
📣 Como's head coach Cesc Fabregas shared his thoughts on the 2-0 victory over Juventus: "This team grows stronger when we maintain consistency. We arrived at the Allianz Stadium to face a very tough opponent, and the guys delivered an outstanding performance, scoring the second goal at a crucial moment. Against Juventus, if you don't get that second goal, they'll punish you."
🚫 Como are dealing with a few squad issues. Eduardo Goldaniga is doubtful due to a heel injury, and Assane Diao is facing a muscle injury. Martin Baturina is expected to return by mid-March after suffering an ankle injury in the last match. However, Jayden Addai will be sidelined much longer; the young player sustained an Achilles tendon injury and is not expected back until mid-May.
Lecce
📣 Lecce's head coach Eusebio Di Francesco reflected on the match against Inter (0-2): "Dimarco is a set-piece specialist, and we had studied his play. It's unfortunate that we conceded in that manner. When we had the chance to trouble Inter, we lacked the final pass - our attack needed to be sharper. The team defended with commitment and consistency, but against opponents like these, you also have to pose a threat going forward, and today we fell short in that area."
🚫 Lecce are also dealing with injury concerns. Medon Berisha (knee injury) and Omri Gandelman (knee injury) are doubtful for upcoming matches. Kialonda Gaspar is sidelined with a knee injury, and his return date remains uncertain. Francesco Camarda is expected to return from a shoulder injury by early March.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Lecce's recent away matches have been notably low-scoring, with the total under 2.5 goals hitting in their last eight away fixtures in Serie A. The Salentini tend to play very cautiously, focusing on defense, and this upcoming match is unlikely to be an exception.
🚩 Corner Prediction
However, Lecce consistently racks up a high number of corners in their away games, with the total over 9.5 corners hitting in 13 of their last 14 away matches. In the first-round game, the teams combined for 10 corners (6:4 in favor of Como), so there is reason to expect the same threshold to be surpassed this time as well.
Editors' Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Como are the clear favorites for this clash, and it's hard to argue with that assessment. The gap in quality between the teams is already significant, and the home crowd support gives Como an extra edge. Lecce have been struggling on the road, earning just 11 points; only Pisa and Verona have worse records with eight points each. Additionally, in the first round, the Salentini suffered a 3-0 home defeat to this opponent. In this context, betting on a Como win with a -1 handicap seems like a reasonable choice. We anticipate a 2-0 scoreline on the board.
