At home, Inter have been dominant. Only Napoli and AC Milan have managed to take points from their last eight Serie A games at the San Siro. With the Scudetto race heating up, Cristian Chivu\u2019s men will be fully focused on bouncing back immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lecce, meanwhile, are under real pressure. A 2-1 home defeat to Parma last weekend summed up their recent struggles, especially as they finished that match with nine men. They have now lost three of their last four league games and sit just three points above the relegation zone. Their away form offers little encouragement, with five defeats in their last eight trips across all competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Match Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Inter\u2019s home dominance, defensive solidity, and overwhelming H2H advantage make them clear favourites. Lecce\u2019s poor record when conceding first, combined with multiple suspensions, further tilts the balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
