Lecce

WWLWLW

Lecce will be looking for a repeat result of the 1-0 Serie B victory versus Pordenone.

In that game, Lecce managed 58% possession and 24 attempts on goal with 7 of them on target. The only player to score for Lecce was Žan Majer (46'). Pordenone had 2 shots on goal with 0 on target.

Their most recent results shine a light on the fact that much respect should be given to the Lecce defence. Lecce have given the opposition little, resulting in the total number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their past six outings standing at 4. We will just have to see whether or not that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.

Cittadella

A sequence of steadfast showings by the Cittadella defensive unit has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 4 from their past 6 fixtures combined. In that period of time, their forwards have scored 4.
