Match preview

Venezia host Lecce at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo in their Serie A encounter. Both teams enter the match on zero points early in the campaign, with Venezia sitting 16th and Lecce 15th in the standings. Venezia come into this clash with positive momentum, having earned a 3-2 victory over Modena and displaying consistent attacking output across their recent fixtures.

Lecce travel following a 2-0 defeat away at Palermo, having shown mixed results in their recent matches. Historical meetings between the two sides highlight a tightly contested rivalry, with four draws occurring across their last eight head-to-head fixtures alongside three wins for Lecce and one for Venezia.

Venezia will be without A. Adorante and M. Sverko due to injury. Lecce will miss M. Berisha through a thigh injury, while L. Banda remains unavailable. Given Venezia's home form and Lecce's recent struggles on the road, a close encounter is expected.
