Fixture Analysis

Lecco welcome Reggiana to Stadio Rigamonti Ceppi in Serie B (matchday 33). Kick-off is Saturday 13 April 2024 at 16:15 UK time.

Recent Form

Across their last 10 games, Lecco have gone 0W 3D 7L — a 0.30 PPG return. Last five: L L L D D. They are averaging 0.50 goals per game and conceding 1.80 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%).

Lecco's form when playing at home: 3W 1D 6L across their last 10 home games (1.00 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.10 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture. Their home PPG of 1.00 is noticeably stronger than their overall 0.30 — Lecco are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Looking at their last 10 matches, Reggiana stand at 2W 6D 2L — 1.20 PPG. Last five: D W D W L. Their scoring rate of 0.70 per game is modest, conceding 0.90 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity.

Reggiana's form when playing away from home: 4W 4D 2L across their last 10 road games (1.60 PPG). Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game. 4 clean sheets from their last 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road.

Form points away from home here. Reggiana's 1.20 PPG return is 0.90 points per game ahead of Lecco's 0.30 — the visitors are the form-based selection, and Double Chance is an alternative worth pricing if the outright looks tight.

H2H Record

The H2H picture is flat: the 1 H2H match we hold have produced 0 wins for Lecco, 0 for Reggiana and 1 draw. Form and model data should carry more weight here. With only 1 H2H match to go on, treat this as a light input.

The 1 H2H match in our data averaged 2.0 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 5 Nov 2023, ended Lecco 1–1 Reggiana — a draw.

The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.

Trading Patterns

Lecco in-play and half-time data (last 32 games, 15 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 67% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 56% of the time; of the 7 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 57%; BTTS occurs in 53% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 53% of games (home games); they fail to score in 41% of games.

Reggiana in-play and half-time data (last 32 games, 15 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 67% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 58% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; of the 7 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 43%; of the 11 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 36%; BTTS occurs in 47% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 53% of games (away games); they fail to score in 31% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Lecco 56% versus Reggiana 53%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Lecco 53% | Reggiana 38%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Lecco surrender their half-time lead 57% of the time, while Reggiana have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 36% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Lecco 0.78 xG and Reggiana 1.66 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Lecco attack 0.704 / defence 1.367 | Reggiana attack 0.977 / defence 0.893. League average goals — home 1.244 / away 1.240. Lecco's attack rating of 0.704 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 0.78. Lecco's defence rating of 1.367 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Reggiana's projected output up. Data: built from Lecco's last 32 games and Reggiana's last 32.

Result probabilities: Lecco 16% | Draw 27% | Reggiana 57%. Fair-value odds: Lecco 6.22 | Draw 3.69 | Reggiana 1.76. The model has a clear lean to Reggiana (57%) — a 30pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 44% | BTTS Yes probability 45% | Total xG 2.44. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 56% — total xG of 2.44 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 55% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Reggiana at 57% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 27% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 2.44 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 56% — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 55% on No. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Lecco 60% (last 10 home games) | Reggiana 50% (last 10 away games).
