Prediction: 0-2
Napoli
Lecce and Napoli go head to head at Stadio Via del Mare in the Serie A round 7 on Saturday afternoon. The Giallorossi failed to spoil Juventus’s party at Allianz Stadium in midweek, with the team having no more than two goal attempts in the midweek clash. Mohamed Kaba is banned for the match, while both Lameck Banda and Kastriot Dermaku are out of contention with injuries.
The Partenopei, on the other hand, rolled over Udinese 4-1 in midweek to climb to 5th place in the standings. Napoli are eager to climb to the Champions League berth and given Lecce’s poor performance in the defeat to Juve, we are tempted to put our money on Rudi Garcia’s troops. Both Juan Jesus and Amir Rrahmani are sidelined with injuries, but they should be the only absentees in the visiting team. As always, a man to watch in the away team will be Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen.
