Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Lecce and Verona go head to head at Stadio Via del Mare in what is expected to be a close Serie A encounter. The Giallorossi suffered a 1-0 loss to Napoli at the weekend, but their display was anything but poor. Lecce aim to return to winning ways as soon as possible and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the struggling Mastini. The likes of Guilbert, Berisha, Bonifazi, Burnete, Hasa, and Marchwinski are all rated doubtful for the hosts.
Verona, on the other hand, suffered a heavy 6-1 loss to Atalanta in Bergamo, meaning that they are low on confidence ahead of the trip to Lecce. As Paolo Zanetti have been struggling at the back of late, we do not believe that the hosts will have a better chance than this to get back on course. Slovakia midfielder Ondrej Duda is back from suspension, while the likes of Cruz, Dawidowicz, Harroui, and Frese remain on the sidelines with injuries for the visiting team.
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.
