Lecce are in the chase for survival and this will be their key agenda on Match Day 36 when they visit Bologna in the Italian Serie A. Hosts Bologna have no relegation worries, having bagged 43 points so far and in 12th place but 18th placed Lecce, who have 32 points, need a win here to boost their chances of staying up. Bologna have been on a downward spiral in recent matches, failing to win any of their last five and have no clean sheet in the last 30 league matches. They had an impressive showing against Atalanta in their last match, though they lost 1-0 and as their focus shifts to Lecce, they will be hoping for a first home win in seven matches. Of the 11 wins in Serie A that Bologna have managed, only four have come at home, meaning they’ve had more comfortable outings away from home and this is one aspect that Lecce will like to make use of. Bologna have also not kept a clean sheet in the league at home after doing so in their first home game of the season – a 1-0 win over SPAL.

While Bologna have managed two points from their last five matches, Lecce have collected seven from the same number of matches and will have a bigger motivation going to this game. Lecce sits above two relegated sides and will be keen not to join them in Serie B, and being four points below the safety zone should push them to go for a win here as the league heads to the end. Last time out, Lecce registered a 3-1 win over Brescia, officially relegating their visitors while enhancing their survival push and now they face three final matches that could place their fate in their hands. Just like Bologna, Lecce haven’t kept many clean sheets; they have two in their last 20 matches but they have failed to score in just six of the 20 matches. Lecce have struggled away from home this season, registering just four wins and two clean sheets in the 17 matches played. They head to this match without a win in their last five away matches in the league, four of these being losses.
