Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Following back-to-back defeats to Inter and Parma, Venezia will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Lecce in the closing match of round 13. I Lagunari suffered yet another dip in form, but Monday’s clash could be the turning point for the rock-bottom side. Defender Francesco Zampano is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while Bjarki Bjarkason will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The Giallorossi, on the other hand, are eager to escape the relegation zone. As Lecce will go for a win in Monday’s relegation six-pointer as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Both Berisha and Pierret are injured for the visiting team, while the likes of Bonifazi, Burnete, Hasa, Marchwinski, and Banda are rated doubtful for the match. In their last meeting in a competitive match the two sides played out a 1-1 draw.
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.
