📰 Team News: Salernitana

Ivan Radovanovic (Calf Injury), Franck Ribéry (Inflammation), Matteo Lovato (Ankle Injury) and Emil Bohinen (Medial Collateral Ligament Injury) will not be taking part for Salernitana manager Davide Nicola. Federico Fazio is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

It’s our opinion that I granata should line up in a 5-3-2 system for the game, utilising Luigi Sepe, Dylan Bronn, Flavius Daniliuc, Norbert Gyomber, Antonio Candreva, Pasquale Mazzocchi, Lassana Coulibaly, Giulio Maggiore, Tonny Vilhena, Boulaye Dia and Krzysztof Piatek.

📰 Team News: Lecce

From a largely available squad, there’s only the sole fitness problem for the Lecce gaffer Marco Baroni to be concerned with. Joel Voelkerling Persson (Ankle Injury) won’t be in action.

There’s a good chance that Giallorossi will likely elect for a 4-3-3 lineup using Wladimiro Falcone, Valentin Gendrey, Marin Pongracic, Federico Baschirotto, Giuseppe Pezzella, Kristoffer Askildsen, Morten Hjulmand, Joan Gonzalez, Lameck Banda, Assan Ceesay and F. Di Francesco.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the view that Lecce might have a difficult job to break down this Salernitana side who we think might well be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.

We therefore see a good battle with a 1-0 winning score for Salernitana at the conclusion of the game.

Expecting it to be tight.
