Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Hellas Verona, 18th position with 23 points and a negative goal difference of -12
Lecce, 14th position with 25 points and a negative goal difference of -19
Hellas Verona won the Serie A Week 28 on Sunday 10 March 2024 at the Via del Mare Stadium in Lecce, Italy. Three very important points for Verona which leaves the relegation zone of the standings flying from the 18th to the 13th position. Lecce goes down and becomes 16th: not a great period for D’Aversa’s team, fresh from 4 defeats and 1 draw in the last 5 games. To make matters worse, D’Aversa was sent off at the end of the match for a headbutt to Thomas Michel David Henry from Verona, who was also got a red card in the 98th minute after a fight with Pongracic.
Verona’s aggressive approach in the first half hour of play broke the deadlock with Folorunsho: the shot was deflected however by Baschirotto, who was decisive in sending the ball into the corner where Falcone couldn’t reach. During the match, Lecce improved especially towards the end of the first half, dangerous with a crossbar hit by Almqvist and a turn by Kristovic saved by Montipò.
Hellas Verona took the lead in the 17th minute. Michael Folorunsho defeated Lecce goalkeeper Falcone with a left-footed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Tomás Suslov.

✅ Stats before the game: Hellas Verona are unbeaten in eight matches against Lecce in Serie A (5W, 3D): this is one of the two longest open series of consecutive matches without defeat against a single opponent for the Scaligeri in the top division (as against Cagliari). After a series of three consecutive victories against Hellas Verona between Serie A and B, Lecce has not found any success in the five most recent matches against the Gialloblù in the league (1D, 4L) and in particular has not found the goal in four of these (just two goals scored, in the 2-2 achieved in the first leg of this tournament). Hellas Verona have won their last two Serie A away matches against Lecce, after having failed to find any success in the previous six (D2, L4): the only time they have recorded three consecutive away successes against a single opponent in the competition it was against Pisa, between 1982 and 1985. Lecce have conceded goals in each of their last 22 Serie A matches, already their longest losing run in a single season in the competition; from an offensive point of view, however, the Apulian team has not found the net in seven of the last 11 championship matches, a period in which they have won just once (2N, 8P).
👉 LECCE (4-3-3): Falcone; Gendrey, Baschirotto, Pongracic, Gallo; Gonzalez, Ramadani, Oudin; Almqvist, Krstovic, Banda
👉 Lineup HELLAS VERONA (4-2-3-1): Montipò; Tchatchoua, Magnani, Coppola, Cabal; Duda, Serdar, Folorunsho, Suslov, Lazovic; Noslin
