Lecce take on the visitors Lazio in the round 16 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 4th at Stadio Via del Mare (Lecce).
Lecce as for a beginner looks quite combat-ready. The Yellow-Reds have already been here recently - they held the 2019/2020 draw at the Serie A level. Then, having shown good football, in the end, the newcomer flew out. A new rise to the elite happened only following the results of the last draw, and Marco Baroni took the 1st place in Serie B. It is clear that they had to fight for survival there, and so far the intermediate results of such a confrontation can be considered satisfactory. Lecce won only three times, but took 6 more times in draws, so the break ended up leaving in 16th place - not so much, but they will be happy to finish the season as a whole.

Lazio would like to return to the Champions League in the spring. The Eagles were forced to start a new era under the pressure of circumstances: Simone Inzaghi, a longtime mentor, was lured to Inter in the summer of 2021. As a result, Sarri had to be called, and Maurizio, already at the end of the first year of work in the capital, was able to make progress, raising new wards to the 5th position. At the same time, however, the backlog from Juventus, which closed the quartet, turned out to be quite significant. Of course, now I would like to take the next step, but not everything works out. And not only in Calcio: in the Europa League, the Italians took only 3rd place in a unique group, going to the playoffs of the Conference League. In Calcio, it seems to have scored 9 wins and 30 points in the first 15 fights. But due to 0-3 with Juventus in the last round, I had to roll back to 5th place. However, the "Old Signora" has a lot of problems, and the competition can be eased now. Although they still need to win more often.
Lazio had 3 wins and a draw. But in 2020, before relegation to Serie B, Lecce managed to beat the Eagles. Lazio is well aware of the intense competition in the top group. We need to take the maximum, and we believe that the visitors will succeed - we bet on their victory.
Prediction for the match: Lazio to win.
