Lecce have picked up over half of their points total on the road this season, winning five, drawing five and losing seven encounters away from the Del Mare.
Their campaign got off to a strong start after goals in each half from Giacomazzi and Grossmuller handed them a 2-0 win in Bologna. Defeats then followed in Siena (0-3) and Palermo (0-2), with a goalless draw in Genova sandwiched in between.
Lecce’s eleventh Serie A fixture of the season yielded a return to winning ways, as Cuadrado’s goal proved enough to sink Cesena
.Yet the Giallorossi failed to build on that victory and saw out 2011 with a winless run away from home, dipping 1-2 against Roma, 2-4 against Napoli, 1-4 against Inter and squandering a two-goal lead with five minutes remaining to draw 3-3 with Parma.
The New Year, however, signalled a reverse in fortunes as Di Michele’s perfectly executed free-kick saw off Fiorentina at the Artemio Franchi.
Just one point was then collected from away encounters with Udinese (1-2) and Atalanta (0-0). But strikes from Muriel and Bertolacci lifted Cosmi’s men to a 2-1 success over Cagliari.
Lecce’s most recent away results highlight their continued troubles with consistency: 0-2 against Milan, 0-0 in Novara, 2-1 in Catania and 1-1 against Lazio, with former Bianconeri striker Bojinov pouncing at the death to salvage a valuable point at the Stadio Olimpico.
