Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Stadio Via del Mare will host Saturday’s football game between Lecce and Monza, the two mid-table sides. The Giallorossi aim to build on back-to-back wins over Empoli and Sassuolo and they must be high on confidence following a brilliant display at Mapei Stadium – Citta del Tricolore. All Ylber Ramadani, Lameck Banda, Mohamed Kaba, and Kastriot Dermaku are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
The Biancorossi, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing three of their last four league matches. As Monza have little to play for in the season finale, we are tempted to put our money on the in-form hosts, who are eager to secure the Serie A survival. The good news for the visiting side is that Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro is back from suspension, while Dany Mota misses out with injury. Papu Gomez remains on the sidelines through suspension.
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.
