Lecce-Frosinone is a match valid for the sixteenth day of Serie A and is played on Saturday at 3 p.m.: odds, predictions, TV, streaming.
Salvation clash yes, but up to a certain point. Because Lecce and Frosinone currently have little to do with the fight not to relegate, being able to count on an important margin over the third-last: +5 the Salentini, even +7 the Ciociari. There will be no particular pressure on the two coaches , Roberto D’Aversa and Eusebio Di Francesco, in the first of three Serie A previews this Saturday, which follows an intense three days of European cups.
Lecce have returned to the ranks after their excellent start to the season and in the last four days have moved up the standings to the tune of draws: 4 in a row, 8 total, only Udinese (9) have drawn more games than the Giallorossi so far. The latest nil-nil came on Monday in Empoli: D’Aversa’s team, which took the lead early in the second half thanks to a goal by Piccoli, was reeled back in almost immediately by the Tuscans following an unlucky own-goal by Rafia (1-1). Frosinone also shared the stakes, in a match marked by great intensity — but no goals — against Torino (0-0). The Giallazzurri had a great first half but wasted too many chances in front of Milinkovic-Savic’s goal. Both Lecce and Frosinone are on the hunt for a long-overdue victory. The Salentini haven’t won since September, while the Ciociari are still winless away from the “Stirpe: away from home, in fact, they have scored just two points.
Lecce-Frosinone: the latest news on formations
Without the injured Almqvist, in attack D’Aversa could put his faith in Krstovic, who remains in a ballot with Piccoli: they are likely to play one half each. Sansone is ahead of Strefezza, while in midfield Blin will take the place of the disqualified Gonzalez. Midline to be completed by Ramadani and Oudin.

Di Francesco ponders a return to the 4-3-3 with Brescianini and Gelli inside midfield, plus the returning Barrenechea at the helm. In doubt Monterisi, former of the match, in defense instead Lirola is seen again. Up front, former Juve Kaio Jorge has a few more chances than Cheddira.
The Prediction
In the last five games played by Lecce, both teams have scored, and this is particularly significant given that Frosinone is also not disappointing at all in terms of scoring (since October, only three times they have gone without a goal). A trend that could therefore continue in a match in which both the Ciociari and the Salentini will be able to challenge each other (almost) openly, considering that there are no pressing ranking needs.
The probable lineups of Lecce-Frosinone
LECCE (4-3-3): Falcone; Gendrey, Baschirotto, Pongracic, Dorgu; Blin, Ramadani, Oudin; Banda, Krstovic, Sansone.
