Lecce take on the visitors Napoli in the round 29 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, April 7th at Stadio Via del Mare (Lecce).
Lecce are not, to put it mildly, among the local football giants. Moreover, like many projects in this country, they had to go through a bankruptcy process. However, the "wolves" quickly regained their position and under Liverani, they were already breaking through to Serie A. However, everything ended with their return to the country's second division after just one season. They managed to return at the end of the previous season, and moreover, Marco Baroni's team won Serie B. Of course, this time they were lucky that there are enough weak teams, clear outsiders. But Lecce itself was able to show quite decent football, which allowed them to collect more than 2.5 dozen points by February... And then, as if they just stopped playing. Up until the March break for national team matches, they had 4 consecutive losses with a total score of 0-6. Nothing has changed for the better - the April match against "Empoli" ended with another "clean sheet", this time 0-1.

Napoli have become a real revelation of this season. No, even last season under Spalletti, they managed to suddenly improve and return to the top 4, even take the "bronze". But after the mass exodus of leaders last summer, almost half of the main squad, there were fears of decline. But instead, they truly managed to discover a series of names, from Kim to Hwang. Essentially, there is only one caveat, a serious note, in the form of a defeat to modest "Cremonese" - at home, in the majority. But they have long forgotten about it at the "San Paolo", anticipating the long-awaited "Scudetto". Moreover, the club from Naples is so good, and its pursuers are so far behind, that there is no need to seriously talk about the fight for the title, only about when it will be finally secured. Such a lead is favorable for Luciano Spalletti's team to switch to another tournament - the Champions League, where they have already reached the quarter-finals, and next week they will face "Milan". By the way, they only played against the "red and blacks" at the home arena in April. It was a shocking failure in the form of a 0-4 defeat. But it can help wake them up and understand that until the title is in their hands, they need to keep fighting for it.
"Napoli" has a good overall record in head-to-heads. But in 2020, "Lecce" managed to win, away, before being relegated from Serie A, and at the beginning of this season the sides drew. It is clear that Spalletti cannot afford a second failure in a row. Especially since the hosts are not particularly motivated to push themselves in the middle of spring. We recommend betting on the away team to win with a handicap of "-1 goal".
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win with -1.0 handicap.
