Lecce vs Pisa | Serie A Preview & Betting Tips | 12 Dec 2025

Friday night under the lights at the Via del Mare and it’s a massive scrap at the wrong end of the table. Lecce are hovering just above the drop zone, while Pisa are only a couple of points better off – three points here would be huge for either side. Expect a raucous home crowd trying to suck the ball into the net and a decent away following making the trip down from Tuscany.

Both teams tend to line up in a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 shape, sitting deep, staying compact and looking to nick something on the counter or from a set piece. Proper Italian chess match incoming.

These two are mirror images right now – low possession (Lecce 44%, Pisa 39%), very few shots on target (2.7 and 2.5 per game) and both rely heavily on set pieces for goals. Lecce win more duels and press a touch higher, while Pisa try to slow the game down and frustrate. Everything points to a low-scoring, niggly affair decided by a dead-ball situation or a mistake.

Lecce last 10: 3W-2D-5L | 8 scored, 11 conceded, 3 clean sheets. They’ve been tough to beat at home but struggle to create chances.

Pisa last 10: 1W-6D-3L | 7 scored, 13 conceded, 4 clean sheets. Draw specialists who rarely get hammered but rarely win either.

Lecce at home (last 5 home): only 1 defeat, 2 wins, 2 draws – averaging 1.0 scored and 0.6 conceded. The Via del Mare has become hard to leave with three points.

Pisa away (last 5 away): 0 wins, 4 draws, 1 defeat – they’ve drawn the lot recently and concede very little on the road, but can’t find a goal.

Neither side is creating much at all – this has 0-0 or 1-0 written all over it.

The last five meetings (all in Serie B) were grim: 1-0 Lecce, 0-0, 0-0, 0-2 Pisa, 1-0 Pisa. Only one game had more than one goal and three finished goalless. Proper low-block stuff – don’t expect a festival of football here either.

Home advantage, a slightly better attack and Pisa’s inability to win on the road all point one way. Lecce aren’t flashy, but they grind out results at the Via del Mare.

Prediction: Lecce 1-0 Pisa

Main pick: Under 2.5 goals – screaming value with these numbers and the head-to-head history.

Value angle: Lecce to win to nil – they keep it tight at home and Pisa barely score away.

Alternative: Lecce draw no bet – covers the very real chance of another 0-0.

Perfect for cards, corners and player markets – enjoy!
