Prediction: 2-1
Vicenza
Lecce and Vicenza, the two teams with entirely different ambitions in the remainder of the season, face each other at Stadio Via del Mare in a postponed fixture. Lecce aim to build on a 2-1 win over Cremonese, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. The Giallorossi have been impressive at home ground this season, and it is no surprise the bookies see them as favourites to win the midweek clash.
Both Luca Paganini and Fabio Pisacane should miss out with injuries for the home side. The Biancorossi, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table with only eight points in their pocket. Vicenza collected only one point in total from the previous four league fixtures, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered. Both Luca Rigoni and Stefano Cester remain in the recovery room for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Fabio Lucioni):
Fabio Lucioni is a product of Ternana football school. Lucioni played for the youth team of Ternana from 2002 to 2005 and he eventually made 14 appearances for the first team. The 185-cm-tall defender played for the likes of Monopoli, Noicattaro, Gela, Barletta, Spezia and Reggina in the past as well before joining Benevento in 2014.
Lucioni has established himself as a first-team regular at the club and it has to be noted that he scored three goals in 46 appearances for Benevento in the 2016/2017 Serie B campaign. The Stregoni secured promotion to the Serie A by beating Carpi in the play-offs final, meaning that Lucioni will have a chance to test a top-flight football in the 2017/2018 season.
Lucioni’s main position is centre-back and his contract with Benevento expires on June 30, 2018. The left-footed defender, who was born in Terni on September 25, 1987, has yet to earn a call-up for the Italian national football team.
