Lecce hold a slight edge through home advantage and a four-win, four-draw unbeaten run in the last eight meetings with Monza, but they have gone scoreless in their last two and Geubbels is expected to miss out. Monza have scored in five straight competitive matches, yet their away defending and the absences of Pessina and Toure remain concerns, making a low-scoring home win the preference.
Lecce lost 0-4 in their first home league match and have failed to score in their last two games, while the likely absence of their main attacking reference point could further weaken the attack.
Monza have conceded five goals in two away matches, while the absences of Pessina, Toure and Ziolkowski create instability in both midfield protection and defensive depth.

Lecce hold a strong psychological edge, unbeaten in their last eight meetings with Monza (4W-4D) and never losing at home in five encounters (2W-3D). However, they've managed only two goals in three Serie A matches this season, and the absence of starting striker Geubbels weakens their attacking options. Monza's away form is shaky—five goals conceded in two road trips—and captain Pessina's knee injury removes a key midfield anchor. With six of the last ten H2H ending in draws, another stalemate or narrow home win appears most likely.

Lecce has a strong home record against Monza with no losses in the last five meetings, and their historical unbeaten streak of four wins and four draws over the past eight encounters gives them control. Monza's attacking form is countered by poor defensive stability on the road, while Lecce's front-line is currently struggling to score consistently.

Lecce are unbeaten in their last eight meetings with Monza (four wins, four draws) and in five home clashes, a clear matchup edge. Monza arrive without captain Pessina, Toure and Ziolkowski, gutting their midfield and central defence, and have conceded five goals in two away games. Lecce's own attack is blunt and Geubbels is injured, so set pieces and mistakes should decide it - a narrow home win or a draw is the main line.
Lecce have not scored a home league goal this season and have been blanked in two straight games; with Geubbels out they lack a focal point and risk being dragged into a stalemate.
Monza have scored in every match, and their quick forwards target Lecce's loose home defending; another 0-4 style collapse would hand the visitors points.
