Parma vs Lecce Prediction

There have been 67 goals scored in Parma’s 22 matches so far this season and they have remained entertaining to watch throughout the campaign. They were on the wrong end of a thriller last weekend as they suffered a 3-2 defeat to AC Milan at San Siro in a game in which they went into second-half stoppage-time with a 2-1 lead. They now face a Lecce side that have replaced Luca Gotti with Marco Giampaolo but things have not improved as they sit in the bottom three and the relegation places but only behind Parma on goal difference. However, with their home advantage, siding with Parma looks the way to go for this one.
