Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Following a 4-2 loss to Cagliari, Salernitana will look to revive their survival hopes when they take on Lecce at their Stadio Arechi. I Granata are having a season to forget, with the team sitting in the ultimate position in the standings with only 14 points on their account. Given Salernitana’s shaky defence, home win should not be considered. All Jerome Boateng, Niccolo Pierozzi, and Norbert Gyomber are out of contention with injuries.
Meanwhile, the Giallorossi failed to impress in a 1-0 defeat to Verona, but they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways in the Serie A. Lecce are desperate to secure yet another elite division survival and we predict that the relegation-threatened visitors will showcase their worth on the field. All Mohamed Kaba, Federico Brancolini, and Kastriot Dermaku are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Lecce):
When you imagine a yellow-red shirt, Lecce must be the first club that comes to your mind. Founded back in 1908, Lecce are Italian club that will compete in the Serie A in the 2019/2020 season. The Giallorossi return to the Italian top flight following a seven-year absence and, as always, they will host their rivals at Stadio Via del Mare.
The venue which was opened on September 11, 1966 can hold up to 33,876 people. The likes of Antonio Conte, Graziano Pelle, Javier Chevanton, Juan Cuadrado, Mirko Vucinic, Fabrizio Miccoli and Massimo Oddo are one of the most notable footballers who played for the Italian club in the past.
Lecce and Gallipoli face each other in the Salento derby and there have been fireworks in meetings between the two clubs since the 2009/2010 Serie B season when they first met in the league.
