Lecce-Verona is a match valid for the 28th day of Serie A and is played on Sunday at 12:30 p.m.: odds, predictions, live TV and streaming.
Total uncertainty continues to reign in a fight not to be relegated that currently involves seven teams packed into just five points. No, Lecce cannot sleep soundly either, which after its brilliant start did not seem destined to struggle to the bitter end to ensure its stay in the top flight. And instead, unless Roberto D’Aversa’s men can turn things around as early as the next few matches, it may not be so easy to reach the goal.
For the Salentini, meanwhile, come two more delicate salvation clashes after the one with Frosinone, which ended 1-1. The Giallorossi will face Verona at the “Via del Mare” and then, before the national team break, the last-place Salernitana. D’Aversa, with the point won last Sunday in Ciociaria, managed at least to stop the haemorrhage of defeats: his Lecce had come from three knockouts in a row (Bologna, Torino, Inter) in which they had not been able to score a single goal. The last success, on the other hand, was more than a month ago, but since September Baschirotto and his teammates have barely won two. Former Baroni’s Verona has two points less but compared to Lecce seems to be better off and proved it on the last day by winning the salvation challenge with Sassuolo, decided by a goal of Polish Swiderski (1-0). The Scaligeri thus broke a fast of victories that had lasted for a month and a half. They are now fourth-last but still tied on points with Cagliari: the road to salvation is still long and winding.
Lecce-Verona: the latest lineup news
D’Aversa has lost midfielder Kaba, who was seriously injured last Sunday in Frosinone: the season is already over for him (ACL injury). In the midfield, Gonzalez and Blin are competing for a jersey, but that’s not the only ballot: Rafia is undermining Oudin and Krstovic seems to have a slight advantage over Piccoli.
On the other side, Baroni finds back a valuable element like Folorunsho, who should be positioned at the top right in the 4-2-3-1, alongside Suslov and one of Noslin and Lazovic. In the back is Magnani in place of Dawidowicz, who is disqualified.
The prediction
Verona is unbeaten from eight matches with Lecce in Serie A and in the first leg, last November, it ended 2-2. A delicate challenge for both, but especially for the hosts, called to react after a series of poor performances in all respects. A draw is not to be ruled out in a match that promises to be very tense and probably dominated by fear: the number of total goals will be less than four.
The probable formations of Lecce-Verona
LECCE (4-3-3): Falcone; Gendrey, Baschirotto, Pongracic, Gallo; Gonzalez, Ramadani, Oudin; Almqvist, Krstovic, Banda.
VERONA (4-2-3-1): Montipò; Tchatchoua, Magnani, Coppola, Cabal; Duda, Serdar; Folorunsho, Suslov, Lazovic; Noslin.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-1
