Lecce-Como Match Preview

Como visits Lecce at the Via del Mare Stadium

Tomorrow, Saturday 19 April, Como 1907 visit Lecce at the Stadio Via del Mare for Matchday 33 of Serie A Enilive. The Larians, boosted by consecutive wins against Monza and Torino, will be looking to keep the momentum going and take another step towards securing safety. Lecce, meanwhile, are going through a tough spell, with six defeats in their last seven matches and just one point picked up in that time.

“For me, there’s no such thing as being ‘virtually’ safe from relegation; you either achieve it or you don’t. It’s mathematics, pure and simple. Against Lecce, we’ll need a top-level performance. We’ll be facing an aggressive, passionate side that needs the three points just as much as we do.

“It will be a game to play with our heads. With a full stadium and pressure on our shoulders, anyone who isn’t mentally ready will be starting 1-0 down. It will be a true test, and I want to see who in my team is genuinely determined.” Cesc Fàbregas, head coach of Como 1907, speaking ahead of the match.

Recent Encounters

Como and Lecce have met five times in Serie A, with the record clearly favouring the Larians: four wins and one draw. Among the teams Como have never lost to in the top flight, Lecce are the side they’ve faced most often.

Away from home, Como have played Lecce twice in Serie A, recording one win and one draw. In the reverse fixture at the Sinigaglia, Como secured a 2–0 victory thanks to goals from Nico Paz and Cutrone.

Players to Look Out For

In Lecce, the focus is on Federico Baschirotto, who has scored headers in two consecutive matches, and the dynamism of Banda. However, the Giallorossi have struggled in attack, managing to score only one goal in their last five home games.

In Como, the performances of Nico Paz (6 goals and 5 assists), Assane Diao (6 goals), and Tasos Douvikas (2 goals in the last 3 games) have stood out. Jonathan Ikoné’s positive influence and Maxence Caqueret’s consistent contribution as the playmaker are also worth noting.
