Verona-Lecce is a match valid for the thirteenth day of Serie A and is played on Monday at 6:30 p.m.: odds, predictions, TV, streaming.
Salvation clash for a Verona side that in case of defeat could say goodbye to Marco Baroni, who is ready to play his last cards against his former team, Lecce. The Gialloblù before the break had sunk to the penultimate place, a normal consequence of the fast of victories that has lasted since last August: after beating Empoli and Roma in the first two rounds of the championship, the Scaligeri have not won since, scraping together only two white-net draws with Bologna and Torino.
Two weeks ago Baroni and his men cashed in their fifth consecutive defeat, narrowly surrendering to Genoa in the Marassi match (1-0). The club, despite the negative period, decided to continue to give confidence to the former Giallorossi coach, but the one with the Salentini could be his last resort before an exoneration that at that point would become inevitable. Baroni will have to find solutions to unlock an attack that-after yesterday’s games-is to date the least prolific in Serie A with just 7 goals scored in 12 games. Lecce, on the other hand, has six more points and is fresh from a draw with AC Milan (2-2) that left a bitter taste in the mouth: down by two goals, Roberto D’Aversa’s men showed for the umpteenth time in this championship that they do not lack character and reeled in the Rossoneri in the second half, even scoring the third goal with a torpedo from Piccoli, which was later annulled due to a foul that caused some discussion.
Verona-Lecce: the latest news on the lineups
Baroni is expected to switch to the 4-3-3, used during his time in Lecce, with Ngonge in the attacking trident also formed by Djuric and Bonazzoli. In midfield, Hongla and Suslov will compete for a shirt, while in defense on the two flanks Terracciano and Doig will play. Folorunsho and Duda are sure of a place.

D’Aversa must forgo Almqvist, who will be out for another month, and the disqualified Ramadani. Blin will be back in the Albanian’s place at the direction, surrounded by Gonzalez and Rafia. In attack, Piccoli will undermine Krstovic, while in defense Dorgu should be preferred to Gallo.
The Prediction
Long fast of victories also for Lecce, which despite being in a quieter position than Verona got its last three points over two months ago. And since then the Salentini have not kept their goal inviolate. The most recent records smile on the Scaligeri, who have won four times in a row over the Giallorossi in the last four head-to-heads. Baroni is playing for the bench in a match that – especially in the first half – could remain deadlocked. A draw, which has not occurred since 2002 in Serie A, cannot be ruled out.
The probable lineups of Verona-Lecce
VERONA (4-3-3): Montipò; Terracciano, Hien, Magnani, Doig; Folorunsho, Hongla, Duda; Ngonge, Djuric, Bonazzoli.
LECCE (4-3-3): Falcone; Gendrey, Baschirotto, Pongracic, Dorgu; Gonzalez, Blin, Rafia; Banda, Piccoli, Sansone.
