Venezia vs Lecce Preview

Newly-promoted Venezia meet Lecce at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo, with kick-off set for 12:30 on Sunday 23 August.

Giovanni Stroppa's Venezia have been busy adding to their squad this summer, with centre-forwards Akor Adams and Albion Rrahmani, centre-backs Armel Bella-Kotchap and Redouane Halhal, central midfielder Toma Basic, left-winger Kornel Lisman and right-back Thierry Correia among their leading arrivals. Central midfielder Issa Doumbia, defensive midfielder Hans Nicolussi Caviglia and centre-back Michael Svoboda are among the main departures.

Venezia secured automatic promotion to Serie A after winning Serie B last season, finishing one point ahead of Frosinone. Their last league game saw them claim a 2-0 home victory over Palermo at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo. The Venice club enjoyed 62% possession and registered nine shots on target, with Issa Doumbia and Mattia Compagnon finding the net.

The new season also got off to a winning start for Venezia, who claimed a 3-2 home victory over Serie B outfit Modena in the Coppa Italia round of 64.

Eusebio Di Francesco's Lecce have been relatively quiet in terms of new arrivals this summer, with centre-forward Willem Geubbels the main addition to the squad. Defensive midfielders Giacomo Faticanti and Ylber Ramadani and central midfielder Thorir Johann Helgason are among the permanent departures, while Riccardo Sottil and Walid Cheddira have returned to their parent clubs following loan spells. Francesco Camarda has also returned to AC Milan after the Rossoneri exercised their counter-option.

Lecce finished 17th in the 2025/26 Serie A with 38 points from 38 matches. Their last league game resulted in a 1-0 home victory over Genoa at Stadio Via del Mare. Eusebio Di Francesco's side had just 32% possession but recorded four shots on target, with Lameck Banda scoring early in the first half.

On Monday night, Lecce opened the new season with a 2-0 away defeat to Serie B side Palermo in the Coppa Italia round of 64.

1-1 Draw in Pair’s Last Encounter

Lecce have not lost to Venezia in the past three games, with the last clash seeing a 1-1 draw played out at Stadio Via del Mare. The previous 7 H2H meetings have featured four draws, two wins for Lecce and just one for Venezia.
