Lecce Form Ahead of Lecce vs Bologna
Lecce, who finished 17th last season on 38 points, only four points above the relegation zone, have had a mixed start under Eusebio Di Francesco. They opened with a 2-0 win away to newly promoted Venezia on August 23, with goals from Olaf Gorter and Tiago Gabriel, before a 4-0 home defeat to Roma on August 31 and a 1-0 loss away to Cagliari on September 7. They then beat Monza 3-2 at home on September 13, but lost 3-0 at AC Milan on September 20, where Christian Pulisic, Adrien Rabiot and Diego Moreira scored. Lecce have scored 5 goals and conceded 10 in 5 games, and have been shut out in three of those five matches. At home they have 1 win and 1 defeat, with 3 goals scored and 6 conceded.
Bologna Form Ahead of Lecce vs Bologna
Bologna have made a poor start to the campaign and changed head coach after four games: Domenico Tedesco left on September 16 with the club 16th and on one point, and Raffaele Palladino was appointed in his place. Before that, Bologna lost 1-0 at home to Lazio on August 24, 1-0 away to Atalanta on August 31, drew 2-2 at home to Sassuolo on September 6 and lost 1-0 away to Napoli on September 13. Palladino’s debut ended in a 1-1 home draw with Torino on September 19, with Federico Bernardeschi scoring a first half penalty and Sandro Kulenovic equalising in the 77th minute after a goalkeeping error by Lukasz Skorupski. Bologna have not won in their first five league games (0 wins, 2 draws, 3 defeats), with 3 goals scored and 6 conceded, and they have not won away from home, with 0 wins from 2 away games and no goals scored.
Lecce vs Bologna H2H: Recent Meetings

Lecce vs Bologna Historical Head to Head
In this Lecce vs Bologna H2H, the history favours the visitors. Going into the September 2025 meeting at Via del Mare, the record stood at 8 wins for Bologna, 1 for Lecce and 3 draws. That match finished 2-2, with Lassana Coulibaly (13′) and Francesco Camarda (90+4′) scoring for Lecce and Riccardo Orsolini (45+1′ penalty) and Jens Odgaard (71′) for Bologna. In the return fixture on April 12, 2026, Bologna won 2-0 at home, with goals from Remo Freuler (26′) and Orsolini (90+2′).
Lecce vs Bologna Match Analysis
Both sides have struggled in front of goal, which shapes this match. Lecce have scored in only two of their five games and Bologna in only two of theirs, and Bologna have not scored away from home all season. Lecce’s problem is at the back, where they have conceded 10 goals, including four against Roma and three at Milan, but those were against sides at the top end of the league, and their home match with Monza produced a 3-2 win. Bologna arrive on a five game winless run in the league, with a new coach, a new 3-4-2-1 shape and a new set of results to find. The head to head record is the main argument against backing Lecce too heavily, as Bologna have not lost either of the last two meetings.
Lecce vs Bologna Prediction: Our Verdict
KlinPredict’s headline pick: Lecce to Win
Confidence: Moderate
Lecce are 12th with 6 points and have already won twice this season, while Bologna are 18th, have not won in five games and have not scored on the road. Confidence is held at moderate because Bologna hold a strong historical record in this fixture and Lecce’s defence has conceded two goals a game.
The Five Market Predictions Explained
Match Winner: Lecce to Win. Lecce have 6 points to Bologna’s 2, are playing at home, and Bologna are winless and without a goal in their two away games this season.
Double Chance: Lecce Win or Draw (1X). Covers the draw, which is a realistic outcome given that Bologna have drawn two of their five games and have not lost either of the last two meetings with Lecce.
Both Teams to Score: No. Only one of Lecce’s five games had both teams scoring (the 3-2 win over Monza), and Bologna have scored in just two of their five.
Over/Under 2.5 Goals: Under 2.5. Bologna’s games have produced one, one, four, one and two goals in total, and both attacks have been short of goals.
Correct Score: 1-0 to Lecce. A narrow home win fits two sides who have each scored in only two of their five matches.
Final Verdict: Lecce vs Bologna Prediction
Neither side has been scoring regularly, but Lecce’s home advantage, their better position in the table and Bologna’s lack of an away goal this season give the hosts a slight edge at Via del Mare, even with Bologna’s strong record in this fixture.
