Team reportSerie A 2026
Lecce
A territorially-dominated side, aggressive high-press out of possession, with a moderate attack. Currently #12 of 20 on 9 points (3-0-5, 9:14). Tactical profile below is built from 8 matches of ball-by-ball event data, contextualised against the league.
In one read, what kind of team is Lecce and how good was the season?
Read. Lecce currently sit #12 of 20 on 9 points (3W-0D-5L, 1.12 pts/game), scoring 9 and conceding 14 for a goal difference of -5.
On the ball they are a territorially-dominated team (44% field tilt, #16 in the league); off it they defend with a aggressive high-press (#7 of 20 for press intensity).
Across the 8 matches of event data, they create 1.28 xG/game (#14) and concede 1.55 (#12), a net of -0.27 xG/game — the underlying performance matches the actual goal difference.

Match Momentum — when they create and concede danger
The question
Across a whole game, which periods does Lecce actually dominate for chances — and which periods hurt them?
Net xG (created minus conceded) in each 15-minute window, summed across the whole season's matches — above the line is time they dominate for chances, below is time it hurts them. Real on-clock shot timing.
dominant (net xG for)conceding (net xG against)
Vision AI Model Insight
Lecce tend to come alive after the break — first-half net xG -1.88, second-half -0.32. Their strongest period is 76-90+' (net +1.40 xG); their most dangerous period to face is 16-30' (net -2.02 xG against them).
xG Race — the season, match by match
Expected goals piling up over 8 matches: Lecce against what their opponents created. A line pulling away upwards is a side creating more than it gives away; the gap at the end is the season’s balance (-2.2 xG). Hover a point for that match.

The football question
In five genes, what is Lecce's footballing identity?
Each gene is a 0–100 score — the team's league percentile across the metrics that define that phase of play. It distils the whole report into an identity fingerprint: the taller the gene, the more that trait defines them.

How they keep the ball, build up, progress, create and finish, and where their attacks die.
How much of the pitch does Lecce actually control, relative to the rest of the league?
Field tilt = share of final-third touches between the two sides across Lecce's matches, the standard proxy for territorial dominance. Plotted against points per game for every side in the league — the real question isn't just who controls territory, it's whether that control actually converts into results. Dashed lines mark the league average on each axis; Lecce highlighted. Hover any dot for the team.
Vision AI Model Insight
Lecce post 44% field tilt, ranking #16 of 20 in the league — below the league mid-point, spending more of the game defending their own territory than dictating it, and their 1.12 points/game sits below the league-average return — territory is genuinely converting into results.
Where the time goes — how long each phase lasts
The question
When Lecce has the ball, how much of that time is spent building, progressing and creating?
The share of Lecce's time on the ball spent in each phase of play, in the order the phases happen. A phase is where the ball is on the pitch (own third, middle third, final third); a transition or a set piece skips the build-up and is counted on its own.

Passing Network
The question
Who actually plays with whom — the real on-pitch connections, not just average positions?
Every pass linked to its likely receiver (the next same-team touch), aggregated into player-pair combinations at each player's average position. Line width = how often the pair combines; colour = threat generated per pass (blue low → red high). Hover a line for the pair, or click a player to isolate their connections.

Which Zones Do They Attack Through?
The question
Across the whole pitch, where does Lecce actually do its on-ball work?
Passes on one map, carries (the ball travelling with a player) on the other. Each is binned into the 15 pitch zones (three thirds × five vertical lanes) and shaded by its share of that kind of action; the arrows are the real actions.

Vision AI Model Insight
Their single busiest zone is the centre of the defensive third (11.9% of all actions). 61% of actions run through the inside lanes (centre + both half-spaces) versus 39% down the two wings — an inside-dominant, half-space build. By third: 29% defensive, 52% middle, 19% attacking.
Attack Sides
Which channel they attacked through this season: the share of every action made in the opponent’s half, down the left, through the middle and down the right. Lecce leaned on their right (39%). The bars under the pitch put the league’s share beside theirs.

◆ Vision AI Insight
Lecce build predominantly down the right, with Falcone as the fulcrum (151 build-up passes). Only 40% of their build-up passes actually advance a third — the rest is lateral circulation, the hallmark of a possession-controlling side that circulates patiently in midfield before progressing. Their single most-repeated pattern is RHS def → C def (43×).

◆ Vision AI Insight
Lecce progress predominantly down the right, with Veiga the busiest midfield outlet (146 progression passes). Only 15% of passes that start in midfield actually break the final-third line — the rest (74%) is recycled back into midfield or (10%) played backward, the hallmark of a side that carries progression itself through midfield rather than just passing through it. Their most-repeated pattern is RHS mid → RW mid (73×) — press that lane and midfield progression stalls.
Decision Quality — not all completed passes are equal
A 90% pass completion can hide a sideways habit. Grading every pass by the threat it adds separates value creation from safe circulation.

Chance creation4 sections
Chance creation — how the shots come
The question
Where do Lecce's chances actually come from?
Every shot sorted twice. First by the kind of attack: an attacking transition (the shot came within 15 seconds of winning the ball), a settled attack (open play after the team had the ball), or a set piece. Then by how it was set up: a cross, a cut-back, a long ball, a pass into the box, or no pass at all (the player created it himself). So a cut-back from an attacking transition is counted apart from a cut-back in a settled attack.

Danger Funnel — which service carries threat
Every key pass pooled by where it was played FROM, then drawn with its arrow width set by total xT rather than by count. A zone that produces a lot of cheap balls shrinks; one that produces a few decisive ones dominates. Where this disagrees with the volume map, the volume map is the misleading one.

◆ Vision AI Insight
Lecce lean right — 54% of their key passes come from that flank and its half-space (30 of 56), most often from Veiga (12). They funnel chances into the c of the final third, most often via RW att → C att (12 key passes, most often from Veiga). Veiga is the primary source overall. They generate 1.28 xG a game and finish it wasteful — they under-perform their xG, led by Lassana Coulibaly (2G), Tiago Gabriel (2G), Olaf Gorter (1G).
Crosses & Cutbacks — squad-wide
The question
How does Lecce deliver into the box from wide areas, and what comes of it?
101 crosses: 33 found a team-mate (33%), 12 led to a shot (12%). 15 cut-backs: 5 found a team-mate (33%), 3 led to a shot (20%). A cross starts wide and is aimed into the box; a cut-back starts near the byline and is squared back. Grey ones were tried but no shot came: solid found a team-mate, dashed lost the ball.
Crosses by Territory
The question
Which part of the final third does Lecce actually cross from?
101 crosses this season (the same crosses as the map above), split into fifteen territories — five channels (both wings, both half-spaces and the centre) by three depths from the halfway line to the byline. 27% come from one territory, the byline right wing; 2 come from the half-spaces and 0 from the centre.

Ball-Loss Map — where attacks die
Every turnover has a location and a cause. This is a rate, not a raw count — the share of pass attempts from each zone that end in a turnover, so a zone they simply play through more often doesn't automatically look riskier. Grey cells are real zones with too few attempts to trust a rate.

How long they keep it — passes and seconds until the ball is won
The question
Once the opponent has the ball, how many passes and how many seconds pass before Lecce win it back with a defensive action?
Counted over the 263 opposition possessions that Lecce ended with a tackle, interception, recovery or challenge. Fewer passes and seconds means the ball is won quickly (a press); more means the opponent is allowed to play before Lecce step in. Lecce win it after 6.4 opponent passes in the first half-hour and after 5.1 after the hour mark (sooner).

Attitude in each third
Every other style number here says how much Lecce does. This says
how: wide or central, short or long, patient or direct. Bars are standard deviations
from the league mean for passes played from that third; a solid bar marks a dimension
where Lecce are genuinely unusual, and a verdict is only written where something clears
0.85 sd — a side that is ordinary in a third is told so rather than given a label
for average play.

Reference measured across roughly 3,500 match-teams
in this competition, per third, so the comparison is with Lecce's own league. The means
behave as football should: width of use grows 21.0 → 25.6 → 31.6 going forward,
pass length shrinks 22.7 → 17.2 → 15.5 m, and completion is hardest in the
final third. Tempo is integer-resolution because the feed records whole seconds.

Transitions — attacking & defensive
The question
When Lecce win or lose the ball, what actually happens in the seconds after?
Reconstructed from the full timestamped event stream: real possession spells (not zone-clustered), and shots that follow a regain within a fixed window. This phase of play needs ordered, per-event timestamps — which every match here carries.

Vision AI Model Insight
Lecce are a direct, fast-break side: 19% of possessions reach the final third in 3 passes or fewer (#2 of 20), against 17% built patiently over 6+ passes (#19 of 20). Winning the ball back leads to a shot inside 12 seconds 1.00 times a game (#11), and a high regain converts to a shot within 8 seconds 3.11 times a game (#7 of 20) — a modest but real source of chances.

How Do They Concede?
The question
Where do the goals against Lecce actually come from — open play, dead balls, and who supplies them?
Every goal Lecce conceded across the loaded matches — the opponent's shots in Lecce's own matches — plus every individual opponent key pass faced, each drawn as its own real arrow (not zone-clustered) with the % share of each zone behind it.

Vision AI Model Insight
14 goals conceded. 86% come in open play; set pieces account for only 14%, so dead-ball defending is not the main issue. 7% are headers — aerial defending is not where the damage comes from. Their supply line runs mainly through the left half-space of the attacking third (20% of key passes faced) — that is the zone to shut off.

Where do Lecce's corners go?
36 corners taken this season, split by which flag they were taken from — arrows from the flag, dots at the delivery point, shaded by % of that side's corners landing in each zone (same treatment as the concede map below). No swing-direction (inswinger/outswinger) data is recorded here, only a start and end point per pass, which cannot show how the ball curved — so this shows what is genuinely knowable: where it lands, and short vs actually delivered. Tap or hover a dot for who took it and the match; filter to one match below and the shading recomputes for just that game.

Performance vs Opponent Styles
The question
Not just how Lecce results against a high press or a low block — how does their own play actually change?
Every match split into three tiers by how hard that specific opponent pressed (opponent PPDA — lower means a more aggressive press), matching Lecce's own passing behaviour to the result.

Vision AI Model Insight
Facing a high press, retention drops to 69% vs 78% against a low block (9pt lower under pressure), and directness (long-ball share) sits at 19% when pressed vs 15% against a low block — a real style switch: they go noticeably more direct when pressed rather than trying to play through it.
Scouting Summary — the team in brief
In brief. Lecce are territorially-dominated with a aggressive high-press.
Their attack creates 1.28 xG a game and they concede 1.55 a game.
[Event-data based — no tracking, so off-ball structure and marking scheme need video.]
For each of ten match numbers, the one match this season that departed furthest from Lecce’s own average, the eight biggest swings first. Bar right of centre means more than usual, left means less. It shows how much the way they play moves from game to game, and which opponent moved it.
Every pass, carry, take-on, shot and ball win is worth the change it made to the chance of scoring minus the chance of conceding in the next 10 seconds. This is Lecce’s last 8 matches added up: where the value came from, who produced it, and the six biggest single moves. OBV only measures what a player does with the ball: it shows who added the most on-ball value, not who was the most important player (defending off the ball, positioning and pressing are not in it).

Set Pieces by Player
Who delivers Lecce’s dead balls and who finishes them this season. 36 corners taken, most by Youssef Maleh (12); 19 shots from corners and free kicks, 5 goals, led by Tiago Gabriel (2 goals, 0.80 xG). “Into the box” counts corners that landed inside the penalty area; free-kick takers are the players who shot from one, because this feed does not mark who delivers the others.

Recruitment Intelligence — profiles to sign
The question
If you were sporting director, which player profiles would move the needle most?
Each recruitment target is derived directly from the team's weakest areas vs the league — the gap, why it shows in the data, and the profile that closes it.
Need — bottom-third: pass retention % (5th pct)
Sign a secure ball-retaining midfielder. The data flags this because possession is turned over cheaply (75.72, 5th percentile vs the league).
Need — bottom-third: threat created /game (10th pct)
Sign a threat-generating creator between the lines. The data flags this because little threat is manufactured (9.26, 10th percentile vs the league).
Need — bottom-third: box entries /game (15th pct)
Sign a penetrative wide player or runner to create box entries. The data flags this because few entries into the box (9.62, 15th percentile vs the league).
