Lecce Preview
The defeat against Hellas Verona was doubly painful for the team coached by Marco Baroni. First, because it broke a six-match undefeated streak (three draws and three wins); second, because they lost one of their best players, Frenchman Samuel Umtiti, after suffering a shoulder injury.
Lecce is not doing well, and it will fight all season to avoid falling into the relegation zone. Right now, the team is in 14th place in the standings, with 20 points, but it is still only 8 points ahead of the group of teams that are in trouble. Indeed, the following statistic is striking: of the last 10 teams in the table, they have conceded the fewest goals with 22. However, in only two of the 19 matches the team has played, it managed to end up with a clean sheet.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Wladimiro Falcone; Valentin Gendrey, Federico Baschirotto, Alessandro Tuia, Antonino Gallo; Alexis Blin, Morten Hjulmand, Joan Gonzàlez; Gabriel Strefezza, Lorenzo Colombo, Federico di Francesco.
Salernitana Preview
Salernitana is experiencing free fall, as the team has gone seven games in a row without a win. Not only does the team have a negative streak, but also it conceded 20 goals.. Though, it is true that in those matches the team had to face teams such as Milan, Atalanta and Napoli, three of the strongest teams in the competition.
In Salerno, these are hours of confusion. After the crushing 8-2 fall against Atalanta, the board of directors fired coach Davide Nicola. But two days later, it hired him again.
The decision the board made does not seem to have changed anything, as Salernitana lost again, this time to Serie A leaders, Napoli. Because of this situation, it is believed that the visit to Lecce will be crucial for the coach’s future.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Guillermo Ochoa; Flavius Daniliuc, Matteo Lovato, Lorenzo Pirola, Domagoj Bradaric; Lassana Coulibaly, Tonny Vihena, Antonio Candreva, Hans Caviglia; Boulaye Dia, Krzysztof Piatek.
JefeBet Prediction
Lecce arrives in better conditions against a Salernitana team that is in free fall, and that is also counting with a very weakened coach. It is believed that the team playing at home will take advantage of this situation to win the match.
Prediction: Lecce wins 2-0.
