Our prediction for this Serie B match:
After sharing the spoils with Brescia in their last league match, Lecce will be looking to give fans something to cheer about when they host Cosenza to their Stadio Via del Mare. Albania international Dermaku is pushing for a start after finding the net in the midweek draw, while all Helgason, Pisacane, Benzar, and Felici are out of contention through injuries. You should bear in mind that the Giallorossi are eyeing their third home win of the season.
Cosenza, on the other hand, are a real force to be reckoned with at home as well, but they have been struggling on the travels in the 2021/2022 Serie B season. Since the Lupi have already suffered four defeats on the road in the process, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the hosts. All Sauli Vaisanen, Reda Boultam, and Mattia Del Favero are injured for the visiting team.
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.
