Prediction: 1-2
Napoli
Following a 1-0 loss to Empoli at Stadio Carlo Castellani, Lecce will look to get back on course in the Serie A when they face Napoli on Matchday 29. The Giallorossi were anything but impressive in Monday’s clash, with the team failing to take a shot on target, and it is no surprise they are seen as underdogs in this clash. Both Youssef Maleh and Samuel Umtiti are back from suspension, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team. Forward Federico Di Francesco, though, should be recalled to the starting XI.
The Neapolitans, on the other hand, are on the right track to win their first Scudetto since 1990 despite suffering a 4-0 loss to Milan at the weekend. Napoli are more of a team than Lecce, and even though top scorer Victor Osimhen misses out with injury, we are tempted to put our money on the league leaders. Defender Bartosz Bereszynski is yet another absentee in the away team.

It has to be noted that Lobotka became the first Slovak to score at Wembley, finding the net in a 2018 World Cup qualifier against England.
