Lecce, Recent FormThe Lecce squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against Empoli, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 47% possession and managed 5 attempts on goal, with 0 on target, compared to Empoli who had 14 attempts and 7 on target.
Having scored just 2 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Marco Baroni where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table, although he will still have one eye on his defence which have shipped 8 in the same period. The art of scoring goals has eluded them, having failed to find the back of the net for the past 5 games in a row. Baroni has a real defensive headache with his squad's inability to keep a clean sheet at home, having conceded a goal in each of their the past 13 games.
Lecce will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 5 league games in a row no wins in 5 games.
Napoli, Recent FormNapoli boss Luciano Spalletti will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 4-0 home mauling from AC Milan. In that game they recorded 61 % of the possession, with 20 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 8 of their 14 shots on goal.
Spalletti will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. When on their travels they are proving difficult to break down, with an outstanding run of 6 clean sheets in a row, away from home. Based on their impressive scoring record, which includes goals in 12 of their away matches this season, their travelling support will feel confident of getting a good result on the road.
They are showing impressive form away from home with a run of 6 straight wins in a row and added to that are unbeaten on their travels in 6 games.
Victor Osimhen is the man of the moment at Napoli right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 8 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
Partenopei will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Lecce having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 15 meetings. Napoli have an impressive record of scoring goals against Giallorossi, with a tally of 13 goals against them in their previous 5 encounters.
In the league, Napoli has a good track record when they travel to Lecce, getting the better of them to win their last 2 games.
With only Kastriot Dermaku (Hamstring) and Marin Pongračić (Ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Marco Baroni will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only Bartosz Bereszyński (Ligament) and Victor Osimhen (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Luciano Spalletti will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
