Lecce take on the visitors Salernitana in the round 3 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, September 3rd at Stadio Via del Mare (Lecce).
At the end of the previous Serie A season, Lecce finished in only 16th place in the table, narrowly avoiding relegation by just five points ahead of Verona and Spezia, who played playoff matches to stay in the second division. Most likely, in the new championship, the Wolves will also be fighting to avoid relegation. However, the start of the season has been quite successful for them. First, under the guidance of Roberto D'Aversa, they defeated Lazio at home (2-1), and then they managed to salvage a draw against Fiorentina away, even though they were trailing 0-2 during the match (the final score was 2-2). As you can see, the defense of the Yellow-Reds is far from perfect, so Lecce could concede again in the third consecutive match.

Salernitana finished one place higher in the Serie A table than Lecce last season and earned six more points. During the summer, the team played five friendly matches with different lineups, scoring at least one goal in all of them. Most of these matches were against Italian clubs, but there were also two matches against foreign teams: Turkish Hatayspor (1-6) and German Augsburg (2-1). In their first official match of the current season, the Seahorses defeated Teramo (1-0). In Serie A, they started with two consecutive high-scoring draws against Roma (2-2) and Udinese (1-1).
The opponents in this match are roughly equal in terms of strength and squad quality. Anything can happen in terms of the outcome. Both teams can score goals but are not ideal in defense. Therefore, it's quite believable to expect at least one goal from the guests at a decent odds. Lecce conceded goals in both of their opening season matches, and Salernitana scored in both of their games. Last season, these teams exchanged away victories with the same scoreline of 2-1. I believe that at least once, the Seahorses will trouble the Wolves' goal.
Prediction for the match: Salernitana to score – yes.
