This is a proper relegation six-pointer. Verona sit 19th with just 18 points, while Lecce are one place above on 28. Both are in poor form, both struggling to score, and neither will want to make the mistake that costs them here.

Verona’s recent run is brutal with just one win in their last ten and very little going forward. Lecce are not much better, winless in most of their recent matches and also lacking any real cutting edge.

The reverse fixture finished 0-0, and recent head-to-head meetings back up the idea that this is usually tight, scrappy and low-scoring.

Recent meetings are consistently tight. Two draws in the last two and only one game with more than two goals across the last five clashes.

This fixture rarely opens up, and current form suggests that trend is unlikely to change here.

1) Both sides lack attacking quality, leading to low shot conversion.

2) Verona tend to sit deeper with limited possession, averaging just over 40%.

3) Lecce are slightly more balanced but still struggle to create consistent chances.

Verona: one win in ten and currently on a heavy losing run.

Lecce: slightly better but still struggling, with very few wins in recent weeks.

Verona at home: limited output and low scoring returns.

Lecce away: inconsistent and not strong enough to trust outright.

This has all the signs of a tense, cagey survival scrap where neither side wants to lose more than they want to win.

Prediction: Verona 0-0 Lecce
