Lecce vs Como Prediction 27 December 2025
📢 What to expect from the Lecce vs Como clash in the 17th round of Serie A at the Via del Mare stadium? This matchup is undoubtedly one of the week's most intriguing fixtures. Lecce are eager to distance themselves from the relegation zone, fully aware of the value of every point. Meanwhile, Como are battling for top positions and are determined not to let the leaders pull away. In such a scenario, there won't be any indifferent players on the field.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Lecce and Como consists of just 5 matches in recent years, and the balance of power clearly doesn't favor the hosts. Lecce have only managed 1 victory, while Como have claimed 2 wins, with the remaining 2 matches ending in draws. Last season, Como faced little difficulty in their encounters, first securing a comfortable home win (2-0) and then thrashing their opponents away (3-0).
Head-to-head statistics Lecce - Como
Lecce Team Overview
🔴 Lecce have been performing quite well recently. Since the beginning of November, they have played six matches, suffering only two defeats while securing three victories. This run has helped the "Salentians" improve their league standing slightly - heading into the 17th round, they sit in 14th place with 16 points, maintaining a four-point cushion above the relegation zone.
🟡 Last weekend, Lecce did not play due to Inter's involvement in the Italian Super Cup. Prior to that, they faced Pisa - a Serie A newcomer that has managed to take points off several clubs. However, Lecce did not hold back and delivered one of their best performances in recent years, outplaying their opponents in every aspect. The statistics speak volumes: 21 shots to 5, 12 corners to 1, and 2.11 xG to 0.36. In this context, the 1-0 scoreline in favor of the "Salentians" seems almost unfair.

Como 1907 Team Overview
🔵 Como kicked off the season with impressive strength, suffering almost no defeats and confidently staying among the league leaders. However, they faltered in their last two matches, suffering back-to-back losses without scoring. These setbacks immediately impacted their standings, dropping Como to seventh place, with a six-point gap now separating them from the top-four zone.
⚪ In their most recent match, Como failed to secure any points against Roma, losing 0-1. The result was fair, as it was one of the few times this season that the team genuinely appeared weaker than their opponent. Over the course of 90 minutes, Como managed just one shot on target and failed to create any truly dangerous chances, while Roma had three significant opportunities. Como missed the previous round due to Milan's participation in the Italian Super Cup, but this break should have been beneficial for them, providing time to regroup and recover.

Latest news
Lecce
📣 Lecce's head coach Eusebio Di Francesco, following their 1-0 victory over Pisa, emphasized the deserved nature of the result and commended his players for their focus: "We secured this win through persistence. It's unfortunate we couldn't capitalize on several promising attacks, but I'm pleased that the team allowed virtually nothing to the opposition. Once again, a substitute scored the decisive goal. Stulic earned this moment of joy... Berisha's injury is unfortunate news, but I have full trust in the rest of the squad. I'm delighted that the entire team delivered a consistent, confident performance from start to finish."
🚫 Lecce approach their next match with a significant list of absentees. Lassana Coulibaly and Lameck Banda are away on international duty and will not be available for the club, as is Kialonda Gaspar, who is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards but has also been called up to his national team. Gabi Jean and Medon Berisha won't return until early January as they recover from injuries (cruciate ligament and knee). Filip Marchinski remains sidelined indefinitely due to a cruciate ligament tear. The participation of Christian Früchtl and Baltasar Pierre is also in doubt as they deal with physical discomfort and back issues.
Como 1907
📣 Spanish coach of Como, Cesc Fabregas, expressed his disappointment following their 1-0 defeat to Roma but praised his team's performance: "It's never pleasant to lose, but we have a clear vision of how we want to play. We're heading home without points and need to improve, but this was one of the most beautiful matches I've witnessed from the sidelines."
🚫 Como are also not at full strength. Alberto Dossena and Edoardo Goldaniga are sidelined until early January-the former recovering from an ACL injury and the latter dealing with a heel injury. Alvaro Morata will miss the upcoming matches due to a muscle injury and is expected to return only in January. Sergi Roberto remains doubtful as he continues his recovery from a muscle issue.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Recent matches involving Lecce have consistently been low-scoring affairs. The three-goal mark has been surpassed only once in their last seven Serie A games. That exception was a clash with Torino (2-1), though even then, given the playing styles, a high-scoring game was unexpected. It's highly likely that in the upcoming encounter, the "Salentians" will adopt a defensive approach, focusing on their backline. Como, as we've seen repeatedly, struggle against teams with such tactics. Breaking down a well-organized defense is a challenge for them, especially away from home. Therefore, we are betting on under 2.5 goals total.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Even though Como aim to play from a position of strength, in head-to-head meetings with Lecce, they rarely win many corners. In the last five matches between these teams, the "Larians" have failed to deliver more than five corners. Looking at the broader season, Cesc Fabregas's side isn't among those that frequently bombard opponents with corners; they average just 3.9 corners per match. In this context, betting on Como under 5.5 corners seems logical.
Editor's Prediction
According to bookmakers, Como are favored in the upcoming clash, and it's hard to disagree with that assessment. Firstly, the "Larians" are keen to bounce back from two consecutive goalless defeats, especially since a third loss in a row could severely dent their already slim chances of breaking into the top four. Secondly, Lecce have historically been a favorable matchup for them, as evidenced last season when Cesc Fabregas' squad won both encounters with an aggregate score of 5-0. While the "Salentians" have shown decent form over the past two months, they are currently facing significant squad issues due to injuries and the Africa Cup of Nations, which has taken three players away from their roster. In this context, betting on a Como victory seems justified. We expect to see a scoreline of 0-1 on the board.
