Lecce take on the visitors Salernitana in the round 20 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, January 27th at Stadio Via del Mare (Lecce).
Lecce do not often play at such a level - there have not been even 2 dozen seasons in their entire history. This season they had the difficult start, with a couple of defeats. Yes, in the first 13 rounds there was only 1 victory, but there were enough of draws, including with Fiorentina, Udinese and even the undisputed leader, Napoli. And, most importantly, just before the break came out to beat consistently “Inter” and “Sampdoria”, taking off the danger zone. Moreover, after a pause, in January, “Lecce” sensationally won 2-1 against Lazio. Further, the piggy bank was replenished more modestly: with Spezia there were no goals, Milan were allowed to recoup from 0-2. Against this background, surprised 0-2 with an outsider, Verona. It seems that the “Yellow-reds” gradually calmed down and decided that they were not in danger of relegation.

Salernitana recently surprised us with their decisions on staff. First, Davide Nicola was dismissed, but then the owner changed his mind under the pressure of arguments, and after 2 days returned him to the post. On the one hand, this coach last season, having led the newcomer during the last draw, managed to keep them in the elite in an incredible way (however, this is not the first such experience for him). And in the new cycle, the club managed to score 18 points. On the other hand, he was dismissed after 2-8 with Atalanta. Moreover, this was far from the first misfire. If at the start there were several strong stretches (5 rounds without defeat in August - early September, 3 wins in 4 matches in October), then before the failure with the Bergamascos there were 3 defeats with a draw with the unstable Torino. However, after the reunion with the mentor, the “seahorses” again lost, 0-2, but this time it was to league leaders Napoli.
Lecce are unbeaten for 6 head-to-head matches in a row - 4 wins and 2 draws. The “Yellow-reds” were able to win in September with a score of 2-1 away. The hosts are considered as the favorite in this confrontation. But this still needs to be confirmed on the field, and it is not a fact that it will work out now. We recommend choosing a neutral option with “under 2.5 goals scored”.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
