After making it seven successive winners in Ireland on Friday, Sunday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me head to the Italian Serie A, and I’ve highlighted a goals-based selection in one of the fixtures.
⚽️ Lazio vs Lecce
🇮🇹 Serie A
⏰ Sunday 25 May, 19:45
Two clubs with very different objectives in Serie A meet at the Olimpico on Sunday evening as Champions League-chasing Lazio hosts relegation-threatened Lecce in a fixture that appeals to me for goals at both ends.
Marco Baroni’s hosts are the joint third-highest scorers in Serie A, slamming in 61 goals across their opening 37 contests, with 33 (54%) of them coming on home soil.
Only runners-up Inter have prevented Lazio from scoring at the Olimpico in the Italian top flight this term – with The Biancocelesti striking on multiple occasions in 10/18 (56%) of them – and will be confident of breaching a Lecce defence that has kept just three clean sheets on their travels this season and just one of their past 11, with that coming against rock-bottom Monza.
Marco Giampaolo’s visitors have scored just 26 goals across their opening 37 fixtures in the Italian top flight this term, with 13 (50%) of them coming on their travels.
After failing to score in each of their opening six Serie A road trips, The Giallorossi have found the back of the net in nine of their last 12 – including in seven of their past nine – and will look to breach a Lazio backline that has registered just two clean sheets at home in Serie A this season, with neither of those arriving in any of their last 11 encounters.
Bet of the Day
Lazio’s opening 37 fixtures in Serie A this season have averaged 2.95 goals per game, with Both Teams to Score clicking in a joint league-high 24 (65%) of them.
Those numbers rise when playing at their Olimpico base, with their opening 18 Serie A contests in front of their supporters averaging an eye-catching 3.22 goals per game, with 14 (83%) of them featuring goals at both ends, including each of their last 10.
Lecce’s previous 11 Serie A clashes on their travels have averaged 2.82 goals per game, with Both Teams to Score banking in eight (73%) of them, including in each of their last four and seven of their past nine.
What’s more, this fixture tends to produce goals, with the past 11 Serie A meetings averaging 3.55 goals per game, with Both Teams to Score paying out in an impressive 10 (91%) of them – and given both sides need for points – I’m happy to back both to bag in the Italian capital on Sunday night.
