On Friday night, Lecce hosts Salernitana at the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare as both teams look to move further clear of the Serie A relegation zone.
The home side's recent form has been inconsistent in Serie A. However, a 2-0 defeat at Verona ended a six-game unbeaten run for Marco Baroni’s team in the Italian top flight.
The game was another low-scoring encounter for Lecce, as seven of their last ten league matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
Lecce are looking pretty comfortable in 14th place in Serie A’s standings, as they are eight points clear of the relegation zone.
Marco Baroni’s team have been relatively difficult to beat on home soil of late in Serie A, as they have lost just one of their previous eight league matches at the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare.
Lecce have been relatively prolific of late on home soil, though, scoring at least two goals in their last three home matches.
The visitors find themselves in 15th place in the Serie A table but six points clear of the relegation zone. However, a poor recent run of league form could well drag the visitors back into the fight for survival.
Davide Nicola’s team heads into this clash on the back of a seven-game winless run in Serie A, having suffered defeat in five of their last six matches in the Italian top-flight.
The fact that they have conceded at least two goals in six of their previous seven league games has been a major reason for their poor recent results.
Salernitana has also struggled for away results in Serie A, having suffered five defeats in their last six league matches in their travels.
Forebet predicts that Lecce will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to move further clear of the relegation zone.
