  Lazio 1 – 0 Lecce     
58′ Felipe Anderson

Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Lazio, 8th position with 30 points and a positive goal difference of +3
Lecce, 13th position with 21 points and a negative goal difference of -5

Lazio with a sprint race to climb to the European zone won the Serie A Week 20 game on Sunday 14 January 2024 at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium in Rome, Italy. Lazio with only two shots on target, gained three very important points, as well as their fifth success in a row thanks to Felipe Anderson’s decisive goal. Lecce, on the other hand, remains at 21 points and extends their winless streak in the league to four.

Lecce has only achieved one victory (2-1 against Frosinone) in the last 14 days of the championship. Lecce have never won away from home this Serie A season: five draws and four defeats. Lazio are coming off four victories in a row, including the one against Roma (1-0) in the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup.

Next weekend Lazio will be involved in the Final Four of the Supercoppa Italia, so the Biancocelesti will return to Serie A on Sunday 28 January in the big match at 6pm against Napoli (both Immobile and Zaccagni disqualified). Lecce will instead be busy on Sunday 21 January, from 8.45 pm, in the home match against Juventus.

Lazio opened the score in the 58th minute. Felipe Anderson defeated Lecce goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone with a right-footed shot to the top left corner. The assist is by Luis Alberto.

Stats before the game: Lecce have won three of the last four matches against Lazio in Serie A (1D), as many as they won in the previous 19 matches against the Biancocelesti in the top division (4D, 12L). After winning the first leg 2-1, Lecce could win both matches against Lazio in a single Serie A season for the first time ever. Lazio led by Maurizio Sarri did not win any of the three matches played against Lecce in Serie A (1N, 2L); Sarri could become the first Biancocelesti coach to remain without success in his first four matches against the Giallorossi in Serie A (Giuseppe Materazzi won one victory in the first four matches between 1988 and 1990). Lecce have won only one of the 16 away matches played against Lazio in Serie A: the 1-2 match on 9 January 2011, with an own goal by Muslera and a center by Grossmüller (Mauri for Lazio); five draws and 10 defeats complete the picture. Lazio have won the last three championship matches, the Biancocelesti could achieve four successes in a row in Serie A for the first time since the period between March and April last year.

👉 Lineup LAZIO (4-3-3): Provedel-Pellegrini, Gila, Patric, Marusic-Luis Alberto, Rovella, Guendouzi-Zaccagni, F. Anderson, Isaksen.

👉 Lineup LECCE (4-3-3): Falcone-Gendrey, Pongracic, Baschirotto, Gallo-Kaba, Ramadani, Gonzalez-Oudin, Krstovic, Almqvist.
