Prediction: 3-1
Lecce
Napoli will look to put an end to their six-game winless run when they take on Lecce in the Serie A round 38. The Neapolitans aim to make amends for the unsuccessful Serie A campaign and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Giallorossi. Giacomo Raspadori is pushing for a start, while all Victor Osimhen, Pierluigi Gollini, Mario Rui, and Piotr Zielinski remain on the sidelines with injuries. Giovanni Di Lorenzo should be fit for Sunday’s clash.
Lecce, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Udinese and Atalanta, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. In the first half of the season Napoli rolled over Lecce 4-0 at Stadio Via del Mare. All Nicola Sansone, Lameck Banda, and Kastriot Dermaku are out of contention with injuries for the away team. Mohamed Kaba is a major doubt.
