Prediction: 3-1
Cittadella
Buoyed by a thrilling 3-0 win over Crotone, Lecce will look to retain top position in the Serie B standings when they welcome Cittadella to their Stadio Via del Mare. The Giallorossi have been impressive at home ground this season, and, as a result, the bookies seem them as favourites to win the midweek clash. A man to watch in the home team will be experienced attacker Massimo Coda, who scored a brace at the weekend, while Francesco Di Mariano is banned for the match.
La Citta, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Benevento, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Lecce’s party at Stadio Via del Mare. Both Andrea Danzi and Simone Branca are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away 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.
