Lecce 0-0 Hellas Verona: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Lecce 0-0 Hellas Verona in the Serie A on Saturday, 08 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

The stalemate between Lecce and Hellas Verona at Stadio Via del Mare was a testament to both teams’ defensive resilience, resulting in a 0-0 draw. Lecce, coming off a win against Fiorentina, failed to capitalise on their home advantage, extending their run of games without a win to three. Hellas Verona, on the other hand, managed to halt their losing streak, showcasing a disciplined performance away from home. The result was not entirely surprising given Verona’s recent form, but Lecce’s inability to break down their opponents was notable.

Key moments were sparse, with Lecce’s Francesco Camarda having a penalty cancelled in the 79th minute, potentially a turning point had it been awarded. Lassana Coulibaly’s yellow card in the 40th minute was the only blemish for Lecce, while Hellas Verona’s disciplined approach saw them accumulate four yellow cards throughout the match. Neither team managed to assert dominance, resulting in a draw that reflected their current mid-table struggles.

Lecce enjoyed a significant advantage in possession with 59% compared to Hellas Verona’s 41%, yet they struggled to convert this into meaningful chances. The home side also had a clear edge in corners, securing seven to Verona’s two, indicating a more aggressive approach in attack. However, Hellas Verona’s slightly higher successful dribble percentage (45% to Lecce’s 41%) suggests they were more effective in individual duels. The four yellow cards received by Verona compared to Lecce’s single caution highlights a more physical approach from the visitors, which may have contributed to the game’s tight nature.

The most significant moment of the match was the cancelled penalty for Lecce in the 79th minute, when Francesco Camarda’s potential opportunity to break the deadlock was overturned. This decision could have shifted the game’s momentum had it been awarded. Yellow cards were the other notable events, with Lassana Coulibaly of Lecce and Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro, Nicolás Valentini, Domagoj Bradarić, and Martin Frese of Hellas Verona all receiving cautions. These moments underscored the physical battle that defined the match.

Lecce deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Wladimiro Falcone in goal and a backline of Danilo Veiga, Kialonda Gaspar, Tiago Gabriel, and Antonino Gallo. The midfield was anchored by Ylber Ramadani and Lassana Coulibaly, with Tete Morente, Medon Berisha, and Lameck Banda supporting Nikola Stulic up front. Despite their possession dominance, the formation failed to unlock Hellas Verona’s defence, suggesting a need for tactical adjustments in future matches.

Hellas Verona opted for a 3-5-2 setup, with Lorenzo Montipò between the posts and a defensive trio of Armel Bella-Kotchap, Victor Nelsson, and Nicolás Valentini. The midfield was manned by Rafik Belghali, Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro, Roberto Gagliardini, Abdou Harroui, and Domagoj Bradarić, with Giovane and Gift Orban leading the attack. This formation allowed Verona to maintain a solid defensive structure, effectively neutralising Lecce’s offensive efforts.

Lassana Coulibaly of Lecce was named Man of the Match for his tireless work in midfield. Despite receiving a yellow card in the 40th minute, his presence was crucial in maintaining Lecce’s control over the game’s tempo. His defensive contributions and ability to break up play were instrumental in ensuring Lecce remained competitive throughout the match.
