Lecce vs Monza — AI prediction
Result
Lecce 3-2 Monza
Kick-off: 2026-09-13
Lecce host Monza at Via del Mare in Serie A. Lecce show mixed league form (1W–1L in two Serie A matches, +3 goals overall last five) but hold a decisive head-to-head record (4W–1L–5D across all meetings, winning 2–1 at home last December). Monza are in crisis: 1 point from 3 Serie A games, goal difference −4, and arrive without Pessina, Toure, and Ziolkowski (three confirmed injuries), plus Ciurria and Ngonge questionable. Lecce, missing only Berisha (rest) and Geubbels (ankle), enjoy home advantage and superior recent form relative to their opponent. The bookmaker model leans Lecce (45% home, 45% draw advice), supported by form (Lecce 75% vs Monza 25%) and head-to-head edge. Lecce favoured.
