Lecce, Recent FormLosing 2-1 home to Napoli won't leave the Lecce squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league. In that game they had 31% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Napoli who had 9 attempts and 3 on target.
Having scored just 1 goal 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 9 in the same period. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 5 of their last 6 league games. 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 14 games.
Serious concerns will be mounting for Giallorossi, having lost their last 6 league games in a row.
Sampdoria, Recent FormThe Sampdoria squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-2 home defeat against Cremonese, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. Their share of possession in that meeting was 50%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 8 of which were on target. Cremonese had 17 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Their boss Dejan Stanković is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 12 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 7 goals scored. Away from home they have not had their troubles to seek, with at least 1 goal conceded in 13 of their last 14 away league matches this season, making points hard to come by on the road. They have not yet found their form in front of goal this season, with an inconsistent scoring record showing no goals in 17 of their 29 league matches this season.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Sampdoria, Manolo Gabbiadini will be looking to add more goals against Lecce in this match.
It was not a positive ending for Sampdoria last time they met Lecce in the league, with the game ending in a 0-2 defeat.
Lecce will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against i Blucerchiati having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 8 meetings. When Sampdoria are away to Giallorossi in the league, they know how to find the net, with 8 goals in their last 3 meetings and an average of 2.67 per game.
Lecce will be determined to get something from this game having lost the last 5 times they've hosted Sampdoria in the league and not won this fixture at Stadio Via del Mare for 6 games in a row.
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.
Dejan Stanković has a number of injury concerns in his Sampdoria squad to contend with: Emil Audero (Shoulder), Andrea Conti (Ankle), Ignacio Pussetto (Knee) and Abdelhamid Sabiri (Virus)
