Lecce are winless in nine league meetings against Inter and have gone 222 minutes without even scoring against them at Via del Mare — a drought stretching back almost four years. [APWin](https://www.apwin.com/predictions/barcelona-vs-levante-prediction-la-liga-22-02-2026/) The hosts do arrive with momentum though, posting back-to-back wins for the first time this season to move three points clear of the relegation zone.

Inter, however, are a machine domestically. Chivu’s side boast 12 wins from their last 13 league games and eight consecutive away victories, six of which were clean sheets. [FotMob](https://www.fotmob.com/matches/levante-vs-barcelona/2g8c9m)

## Prediction

Lecce’s revival is heartwarming, but this is simply too big a mountain to climb. Lecce have failed to score in their last six meetings with Inter Milan [Betting Academy](https://www.bettingacademyus.com/stats/match/spain/primera-division/barcelona/levante/wVnmNkxnMQRJd/preview) — and with Barella and Calhanoglu missing, Inter still possess more than enough quality to see this out comfortably.

**Prediction: Lecce 0–2 Inter Milan**
