Latest team news for Hellas Verona vs Lecce
Verona are having problems in attack. Casper Tengstedt – their top scorer (6 goals) – is still struggling with fitness issues. Amin Sarr only scores away from home, while Daniel Mosquera has scored every time he's come on as a substitute (5 goals).
Positive signs are coming from the defense: Daniele Ghilardi and Diego Coppola return after suspensions, while Pawel Dawidowicz has recovered from injury. Only veteran wing-back Davide Faraoni is still uncertain to play.
On the Lecce side, Nikola Krstovic is still expected to start despite a muscle injury. If he is not fit enough, Ante Rebic will replace him. Two players with long-term injuries, Gaby Jean and Filip Marchwinski (torn ligaments), are definitely absent.
Captain Federico Baschirotto – who has been a regular starter since 2022 – continues to be an indispensable anchor in the defense. He has played the most minutes in Serie A among non-goalkeeper players since his debut.

Latest football match prediction: Hellas Verona vs Lecce
Just when it seemed they had one hand on relegation survival, Verona suffered a slump with three consecutive defeats without scoring a single goal, against Roma, Cagliari, and most recently Inter Milan. Their last victory was at the beginning of April, and this goalless streak means their survival in Serie A is still not guaranteed.
At home, Verona have been disappointing, failing to score in 10 out of 17 matches – a goalless streak against Lecce would set a new, worse record than the 1988-89 season. Another serious problem is their slow start: they have conceded 28 goals in the first half – the worst record in the top five European leagues.
However, history is on their side: Verona are unbeaten at home against Lecce in Serie A, and once had a nine-match unbeaten run against them before losing 0-1 in the first leg in October.
Meanwhile, Lecce are yet to win an away game against Verona in the league and are mired in a 12-match winless streak since January. They recently lost 0-1 at home to Napoli in a match interrupted by flares and fan protests.
With only 2 points in their last 10 matches, Lecce are currently just 1 point above the relegation zone. If they don't improve, they could be relegated from Serie A after three consecutive seasons.
Lecce relies heavily on Nikola Krstovic – who has scored 10 of their 23 goals this season. However, with only seven players scoring since the start of the season, they need more players to shine if they want to stay in the league.
