REF’s picks

Bologna head into this fixture with superior individual quality and the tactical framework to dominate possession against a Lecce side that traditionally struggles on their travels. While the visitors possess attacking threats like Ceesay and Banda, Bologna's structured setup under Thiago Motta should allow them to edge a tight contest.

1. 1Bologna boasts a strong recent head-to-head record against Lecce, remaining unbeaten in their last five encounters.
2. 2Lecce has suffered defeats in three of their last five away matches in Serie A, showing vulnerability on the road.
3. 3Bologna's recent winless run in the league introduces an element of unpredictability regarding their finishing consistency.
