Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Lecce
All eyes will be on Stadio Paolo Mazza when SPAL and Lecce face each other in the Serie B round 14. SPAL have been struggling in front of goal of late, with the team failing to find the net in the previous three league fixtures, and, no doubt, they are eager to put an end to the negative trend. Keep in mind, though, that the likes of Cloccari, Dickmann, Dalessandro, and Berisha are all sidelined through injuries.
Lecce, on the other hand, suffered a heavy 3-0 loss to Pisa in their last league match, with the team extending their winless run to four games. Since both SPAL and Lecce are likely to go for a win in Tuesday’s football match, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. There are no absentees in the away team ahead of the trip to Ferrara.
Highlighted Player (Etrit Berisha):
Etrit Berisha is an Albanian goalkeeper born on 10 March 1989 in Prishtina, and he has become an important player for the Albania national team over the years. After starting his youth career in his native country, Berisha joined Swedish side as a youngster and he quickly managed to prove his worth on senior level, making 90 league appearances and even scoring 3 goals from the penalty spot.
The impressive displays in Swedish Allsvenskan earned him a lucrative move to Lazio in the summer of 2013, and he has since been vying with Federico Marchetti for a starting berth at Stadio Olimpico, making almost 40 league appearances during the first three years at the club. Berisha has also performed well for the Biancocelesti in Coppa Italia and Europa League, while helping Albania qualify for their first ever European Championship finals.
