Bologna – Lecce

Bologna host Lecce in what promises to be a crucial showdown in the lower half of the table. The hosts sit 16th with just one point from four games, having failed to win and conceding five goals while only scoring twice. Lecce, meanwhile, sit a modest five places above them in 12th place, carrying six points from four matches, with a balanced record of two victories and a respectable five‑goal haul. The two sides have already exchanged points this season, and Bologna will be desperate to turn their fortunes around and climb out of the relegation zone, while Lecce will look to extend their modest lead and keep the pressure on the teams above them.
