An early-season stunner at Via del Mare
Bologna F.C. currently sit 18th in the Serie A 2026/2027 season standings with just 2 points from 5 matches, and while they may not be in imminent danger of relegation just yet, the rossoblù already have their backs to the wall.
Lecce are in a more comfortable 12th position with 6 points from 5 games, and while their recent form has been mixed, they will hope to maintain their cushion over the danger zone with a positive result against Bologna.
Eusebio Di Francesco's men have won 2 and lost 3 of their last 5 matches, but one of the victories in this period came at home, a 3-2 triumph over Monza. In the other 4 games, Lecce have lost away to Cagliari and AC Milan, and they have not beaten Bologna in their last 2 meetings, making the rossoblù the favourites here at 1.9, while the home team are 4.1 and the draw is 3.35.
Bologna must improve travelling record
Bologna are without a win in their last 5, picking up 2 draws and 3 defeats, but they're yet to find a point or score a goal on the road in Serie A 2026/2027.
Raffaele Palladino took over Bologna, and he is still shaping up a more flexible 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 structure following the coaching change on 16 September 2026.
Lecce have been set up in a compact 4-3-3 by Di Francesco, relying on direct transitions to create their chances rather than playing possession football. While Bologna have more of a spark in Juan Miranda, Lecce have more of a threat in Lassana Coulibaly, who has 2 goals in 5 Serie A 2026/2027 appearances, while 2 of Lecce's last 3 goals have come from Coulibaly.
Bologna’s blunt away record makes this a scrap
Lecce have averaged 1.50 goals scored and 3.00 conceded at home in Serie A 2026/2027, so their games at the Stadio Ettore Giardiniero - Via del Mare have been lively but leaky affairs. Bologna are yet to score an away goal in Serie A 2026/2027, and so this doesn't look like a game in which a goal feast will ensue, but an open game of counter-attacking football is likely to develop.
The odds for an away win look fair given Bologna's lack of away form, but the hosts have been strong in their own backyard, so under 2.5 goals at 1.8 is our main tip, while Bologna or draw will be our alternative selection.
