Match Prediction: Parma vs. Lecce
Even on home turf, Parma rarely avoids defensive mistakes and concedes regularly. In their last 26 home Serie A matches, the team has managed only three clean sheets, and in 12 instances during this span, they have conceded at least two goals. Furthermore, in the current championship, Parma has only kept a clean sheet against league newcomers Cremonese.
Lecce, while not highly prolific, scores regularly on the road. In their last seven away Serie A encounters, the club has only failed to breach the defense of Genoa, and during this period, they have scored against opponents like Juventus, Atalanta, and Lazio. Additionally, last season the team netted three goals in a head-to-head match with Parma on their turf.
I anticipate at least one goal from the visitors in this match, and my prediction: Lecce Individual Total Over 0.5
