Lecce vs Napoli: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Explore Bwin's detailed preview for Lecce vs Napoli in the Serie A. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 17:30 BST match.

• Fixture: Lecce vs Napoli
• Date: Tuesday, 28 October 2025
• Kick-off: 17:30 BST
• Venue: Stadio Via del Mare

Lecce's recent form suggests a team capable of holding their own, with a mix of draws and losses against varied opposition. Their resilience was evident in the 0-0 draw against Sassuolo and the 2-2 draw with Bologna, indicating a solid defensive structure that could challenge Napoli's attacking prowess. However, their vulnerability was exposed in losses to Udinese and Cagliari at home, suggesting that Napoli's potent attack might find opportunities.

Napoli, on the other hand, have shown flashes of brilliance interspersed with disappointing results. Their home victories against Inter and Genoa highlight their capability to dominate, but losses to Torino and AC Milan away from home indicate potential weaknesses when facing a determined defense. This match could see Napoli pushing forward, but Lecce's recent performances suggest they might frustrate Napoli's efforts, leading to a closely contested game.

Lecce's recent form has been inconsistent, with two draws and three losses in their last five matches. Their ability to secure a point against Sassuolo and Bologna at home shows a level of defensive solidity, which could be crucial against Napoli. However, their home losses to Udinese and Cagliari indicate a need for improvement in converting chances and maintaining defensive discipline throughout the game.

• Loss: 2-3 vs Udinese (A)
• Draw: 0-0 vs Sassuolo (H)
• Win: 1-0 vs Parma (A)
• Draw: 2-2 vs Bologna (H)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Cagliari (H)

Napoli's recent results show a team with the potential to dominate but also capable of faltering. Their home wins against Inter and Genoa demonstrate their attacking strength, particularly at home. However, losses to Torino and AC Milan away from home suggest that they might struggle against a well-organized Lecce side, especially if they fail to capitalise on their opportunities early in the game.

• Win: 3-1 vs Inter (H)
• Loss: 0-1 vs Torino (A)
• Win: 2-1 vs Genoa (H)
• Loss: 1-2 vs AC Milan (A)
• Win: 3-2 vs Pisa (H)

The head-to-head record between Lecce and Napoli shows a clear dominance by Napoli, with four wins and one draw in their last five encounters. Napoli's most recent victory was a 1-0 win at home, while their largest margin of victory was a 4-0 win away at Lecce. This historical advantage could play a psychological role in the upcoming match, although Lecce's recent performances suggest they might be more competitive than the record indicates.

Predicted lineup: Falcone (GK), Veiga (DF), Gaspar (DF), Gabriel (DF), Gallo (DF), Ramadani (MF), Berisha (MF), Pierotti (MF), Helgason (MF), Morente (MF), Stulic (AT)

Lecce's predicted lineup suggests a focus on maintaining a solid defensive structure while relying on the creativity of Pierotti and Helgason in midfield to unlock Napoli's defense. The inclusion of Stulic up front indicates an intent to exploit any gaps in Napoli's backline with quick, incisive attacks.

Predicted lineup: Milinkovic-Savic (GK), Lorenzo (DF), Jesus (DF), Buongiorno (DF), Spinazzola (DF), Gilmour (MF), Politano (MF), Anguissa (MF), TBC (MF), McTominay (MF), TBC (AT)

Napoli's predicted lineup emphasises a strong midfield presence with Gilmour, Anguissa, and McTominay, aiming to control the game's tempo and create scoring opportunities. The absence of key attackers due to injury might force Napoli to rely more on their midfield to break down Lecce's defense.

• Stulic vs Jesus: This matchup pits Lecce's agile forward against Napoli's experienced defender, potentially deciding the game's outcome.
• Helgason vs Anguissa: A crucial midfield battle where Helgason's creativity will be tested against Anguissa's robust defensive skills.
• Pierotti (Lecce): Pierotti's role in midfield is vital for Lecce, providing the link between defense and attack with his vision and passing.
• McTominay (Napoli): McTominay's presence in midfield is key for Napoli, offering both defensive solidity and the ability to contribute to the attack.
