Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 3-1
Reggina
Lecce will look to build on a 3-1 win over Spal when they take on Reggina in the Serie B round 16. The Giallorossi are seen as one of the main candidates to secure automatic promotion, but they can’t afford any complacency in the remainder of the season. Brazil winger Gabriel Strefezza, who scored a brace in the midweek triumph, will be one of the men to watch in the home team, while midfielder Romario Benzar has yet to serve his ban.
Reggina, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league fixtures. The Gli Amaranto are low on confidence ahead of the trip to Apulia, and we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing something from the match. Jeremy Menez is sidelined with injury, but, as things stand now, the experienced forward should be the only absentee 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.
