Lecce vs. Torino: Match Prediction
Even at home, Lecce rarely delights fans with high-scoring games: the team has scored only 12 goals in home matches this season, surpassing only Empoli (9). Additionally, in the last nine home Serie A matches, Lecce players have not scored. However, during this same period, the club conceded more than one goal only three times.
Torino also does not stand out for high-scoring performances, especially in away matches. In their last 13 away league games, the team has surpassed one goal only four times, and in three of those matches, they faced opponents with unreliable defenses: Parma, Udinese, Monza. Moreover, in their last encounter at Lecce's ground in Serie A, Torino scored just one goal.
I don't think the teams will shine in attack, so my prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
