Lecco vs Giana Erminio: match statistics

Lecco have also yet to win this season, but they have collected 2 points in their last five matches, compared with just 1 for Giana Erminio. The hosts drew their only home match so far 0:0 and kept a clean sheet, while the visitors lost their away fixture and concede an average of 1 goal on the road. Lecco create chances worth an average of 1.59 xG at home, whereas Giana Erminio allow opponents as much as 2.22 xG, suggesting favorable conditions for the hosts’ attack. Neither team has scored yet in their respective home and away matches, so the draw remains a strong possibility; however, the visitors’ weaker defense and 4 defeats in their last 5 matches favor Lecco.

The strongest argument for BTTS - No is not Lecco’s poor finishing: in their last 5 matches, the team has failed to score a single goal despite averaging 1.06 xG. Giana Erminio also struggles with finishing, as they have not scored in the current away data, with a 0% shot conversion rate, although they create an average of 2.18 xG. On the other hand, neither defence looks reliable, with Lecco conceding an average of 2.0 goals, while Giana have allowed 2.2 goals per match across their last 5 games. Although Giana recorded BTTS - Yes in 80% of their last 5 matches, Lecco’s zero goals scored and Giana’s 100% rate of matches without scoring in the seasonal data provide stronger support for a scenario in which at least one team fails to find the net.

Lecco’s recent results clearly limit the hosts’ projection: the team has failed to score in their previous five matches, while conceding an average of 1.0 goal. Giana Erminio averaged 1.0 goal scored over this period, but their defence allowed an average of 2.2 goals, giving Lecco a realistic chance to end their scoring drought despite their poor finishing. The quality of chances points to a moderate rather than extremely low-scoring game: the average xG from the last five matches stands at 1.06 for Lecco and 1.82 for Giana, with 1.43 and 1.66 xG conceded to opponents, respectively. The projected total of 2.30 goals is slightly above the league average of 2.0, but still clearly below the four-goal threshold, making Under 3.5 the strongest edge.

The strongest scenario is a draw at half-time and a draw at full-time, as Lecco were level at the break in 80% of their last five matches, compared with 40% for Giana Erminio. During this period, the hosts failed to score before half-time, while conceding just 0.2 goals on average, clearly supporting a cautious start. Both teams are in poor form: Lecco lost 60% of their last five matches and the visitors as many as 80%, while their draw rates stand at 40% and 20%, respectively. After the break, Lecco still average no goals scored across their last five matches, whereas Giana Erminio concede 1.2 goals per game in the second half, increasing the likelihood of a turnaround if the visitors take the lead. Lecco’s low attacking output is balanced by the visitors’ weak defence, with Giana Erminio conceding an average of 2.2 goals in their last five outings; therefore, a draw at full-time remains the most likely outcome.
