Prediction: 1-3
Inter
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Stadio Via del Mare as Lecce and Inter square off against each other in a highly-anticipated Serie A clash. The Giallorossi suffered yet another dip in form, with the team losing to both Bologna and Torino in the previous two league matches and it is no wonder the bookies see them as big underdogs in Sunday’s encounter. As both Patrick Dorgu and Marin Pongracic are banned for the match, home win should not be considered.
The Nerazzurri, on the other hand, are on the right track to win the Scudetto, with the team sitting in top position in the standings nine points clear of second-place Juventus. Inter are more of a team than Lecce and despite their Champions League duties, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Simone Inzaghi’s troops. Francesco Acerbi and Juan Cuadrado should be the only absentees in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Hakan Calhanoglu):
Hakan Calhanoglu is another one in the long line of Turkish footballers who were born in Germany, so it is hardly surprising he came to prominence thanks to his performances in Bundesliga. The attacking midfielder with great vision and very good goalscoring record started his professional career at Karlsruher, scoring impressive 17 goals in 50 league outings to earn a move to Bundesliga side Hamburg.
The spell at Imtech Arena was merely a stepping stone for bigger things as 11 goals in his debut top flight campaign persuaded Bayer Leverkusen to splash nearly €15 million on his services. That proved a very good investment as Calhanoglu continued the rich vein of form, and it is now a matter of time before he joins one of European powerhouses.
The midfield maestro had a bright start to his career in the Turkey national team, scoring 5 goals in first 16 caps, and chances are he will become a leader for Milli Takim in the foreseeable future.
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.
