The Serie A showdown between Lecce and Torino is set for Sunday, 18 May 2025 at the Stadio Via del Mare in Lecce. Kick-off comes at 19:45 BST (UK), with local times of 20:45 CEST in Italy, Germany, France and Spain. This fixture represents Round 37 of the 2024/25 campaign and offers crucial points at both ends of the table.
Lecce currently sit in 19th place with 28 points and are locked in a fierce relegation battle, while Torino occupy 11th with 44 points and aim to secure a solid mid-table finish. With the season winding down, both sides will be desperate to end on a high note.
How are both teams coming into this?
Lecce’s recent form reads 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats in their last five matches, highlighting their struggles in front of goal. However, they’ve been more resilient at home, picking up 3 wins and 6 draws on their own turf this term. The Via del Mare crowd will be hoping to inspire a turnaround in this vital clash.
Torino’s campaign has been mixed, with just 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses in their previous five outings. Their away record of 4 wins, 7 draws and 7 defeats shows they can be both dangerous and vulnerable on the road. A win here would cement their top-half status, but recent defensive lapses may prove costly.
Our forecast
We expect a tight, low-scoring affair as Lecce throw everything at this match in search of salvation. The home side’s desperation for points, combined with Torino’s occasional defensive frailties, could tip the balance in favour of the hosts.
Our prediction is a narrow 1-0 victory for Lecce. While Torino have the quality to score, Lecce’s home resilience and the high stakes suggest both teams may struggle to find the net. A single decisive moment could determine the outcome.
