Serie A Betting Preview: Bologna vs Lecce

Bologna welcome Lecce to Stadio Renato Dell'Ara, with kick-off set for 12:00 on Sunday 12 April.

Bet Against Goals

Three days ago, Bologna were defeated 3-1 in the Europa League when hosting Aston Villa.

Lecce have suffered three consecutive losses, recently being beaten at home by Atalanta 3-0 at Stadio Via del Mare. I Salentini were restricted to 42% possession and didn’t manage a single shot on goal.

Latest Match Odds Suggest Bologna Victory

The bookmakers have Bologna at -130 when it comes to 1x2. This suggests that the favourites have a 56% chance of winning this Serie A clash based on the betting odds. Lecce are the +410 outsiders, with the draw being a different option which could yield dividends.

The Asian Handicap -0.5 market is the same as a Full-Time Result wager, with Bologna needing to win at -128 for your bet to be successful. Lecce +0.5 at +102 means you need them to triumph or the draw to happen.

A low-scoring contest will be anticipated by many and Under 2.5 Goals currently has the shortest odds. A viable alternative is betting the BTTS market and opting for the -141 about Both Teams to Score No.
