Lecce and Bologna meet often enough to know each other's game well, especially Bologna, who won 2-0 at home in the most recent meeting in April, and before that came away with a 2-2 draw at Lecce. This time, though, the picture is different, because Bologna have not won any of their first five league games, while Lecce have picked up two wins but have also been thrashed several times. Lecce opened the season with a 2-0 win, but after that they lost 0-4 and then lost 0-3 again. Their defence clearly has problems when they face a team that can keep pressing them. As for Bologna, although they have not won yet, they have not been thrashed either. Their defence is tougher, and they have clearly dominated possession over their last ten games. This game is likely to be one where Bologna control the tempo and wait for the moment to break through a Lecce side sitting deep. If Bologna score first, Lecce will have to open up, and that is the period when Bologna should find more space, because Lecce concede a lot in the middle of the first half.
