Our prediction for this Serie A match:
After coming from two goals behind to share the spoils with Fiorentina on Matchday 2, Lecce will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Salernitana on Sunday evening. The Giallorossi have been producing fine performances in the Serie A at the start of the season and they are likely to adopt an attack-oriented approach against Salernitana. Montenegro striker Nikola Krstovic is pushing for his full Lecce debut after scoring as a substitute against the Viola, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, head into Sunday’s clash following a 1-1 draw with Udinese. Salernitana, though, are not regarded as good travellers and that is the main reason why we are going to bet on Lecce, who have turned their Stadio Via del Mare into a real fortress. Defender Flavius Daniliuc should be the only absentee in the away team as he has yet to recover from a foot injury.
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.
