Lecce vs Como – Prediction, Team News & Lineups

Lecce vs Como face off in a 2025-26 Serie A matchup with mid-table stakes on Saturday, December 27, 2025, at Stadio Via del Mare. Sitting 14th with 16 points from 15 games (4 wins, 4 draws, 7 losses), Lecce hopes to build on a 1-0 victory over Pisa, though Eusebio Di Francesco’s squad struggles to find the net, with just 11 goals scored—the fewest in the league.

Como, 7th with 24 points (7 wins, 3 draws, 5 losses), looks to rebound from a 1-0 defeat to Roma. Cesc Fàbregas’ side has been defensively strong, conceding only 12, but inconsistent away from home.

With Lecce’s blunt attack up against Como’s organized defense—and Como winning both earlier 2025 meetings 3-0 and 2-0—this one could be a tense, low-scoring affair with upset potential.
