Parma-Lecce, stats and curiosities

The 23rd round of Serie A kicks off with Parma-Lecce. A survival clash with both teams at the bottom of the table, with Parma in 16th place and Lecce in 18th place. So, no room for mistakes. Let’s look at some stats and curiosities about the match: Parma is unbeaten in 22 out of 23 matches against Lecce in Serie A (13 wins and 9 draws), with their only defeat dating back to February 2, 2011, when Lecce won 1-0 with a goal from Chevanton.

The first leg ended in a 2-2 draw, if there’s a second draw it could be only the second time both matches end in a tie: the only previous instance was in the 2001/02 season (both matches ended 1-1). The last match at the Tardini in Serie A was in the 2019/20 season, played on January 13, 2020, with Parma winning 2-0, with goals from Iacoponi and Cornelius. If they win without conceding, it would be the second time they keep a clean sheet for 2 consecutive matches against Lecce, with the only previous instance being between January 1991 and September 1993.

Parma is unbeaten in their last 2 matches at the Tardini, with a win and a draw, marking their longest unbeaten run at home since autumn 2020 (5 consecutive positive results). Meanwhile, Lecce has lost their last two matches against Cagliari and Inter, and a third loss to Parma would result in their worst streak since last September-October (4 consecutive defeats).

Lecce has conceded 11 goals in their last 4 away matches, just one goal less than in their previous 12 away matches (12 goals). Lastly, Parma is the team that scores the most goals on counterattacks, with 5 goals, a record they share with Lazio and Juventus.
