ENGLAND PREMIERE LEAGUE |Salernitana Vs lecce

 

✍🏻Salernitana

DLLLDL 📉

Salernitana will be looking for an improved result here following the 4-2 Serie A losing effort in their last game against Cagliari.

In that match, Salernitana had 71% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 5 on target. For Salernitana, goals were scored by Grigoris Kastanos (56') and Giulio Maggiore (58'). Cagliari got 12 shots at goal with 7 on target. Gianluca Lapadula (12'), Gianluca Gaetano (40') and Eldor Shomurodov (51', 76') scored for Cagliari.

It’s been all too rare in recent times where Salernitana have kept a clean sheet. The facts show that Salernitana have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 14 goals on the way. However, it remains to be seen if that pattern shall be replicated in this upcoming game or not.

Coming into this contest, Salernitana are without a home win in the past 7 league matches. Things will have to change soon.

✍🏻Lecce

WLLLDL

After tasting defeat last time out to Hellas Verona in Serie A action, Lecce will be aiming to make amends here.

In that match, Lecce had 56% possession and 15 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. At the other end, Hellas Verona had 13 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. Michael Folorunsho (17') was the scorer for Hellas Verona.

The forward players for Lecce have suffered from a lack of goals over their previous 6 clashes, contributing the unsatisfactory return of only 4. In those fixtures, Giallorossi have also seen the overall goal aggregate of opposing teams equal 14.

Analysis of their past results shows that Lecce:

• remain unbeaten by Salernitana when they've played them away from home in the last 3 league games.
• have not won away from home in their last 14 league matches. Their travelling supporters must be so depressed.

📋 Team News: Salernitana

Niccolò Pierozzi (muscular problems) and Jérôme Boateng (unknown injury) are not available for Salernitana manager Fabio Liverani. Grigoris Kastanos will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We are thinking that I granata will possibly opt for a 4-3-1-2 system with Guillermo Ochoa, Alessandro Zanoli, Konstantinos Manolas, Lorenzo Pirola, Domagoj Bradaric, Lassana Coulibaly, Giulio Maggiore, Toma Basic, Antonio Candreva, Shon Weissman and Loum Tchaouna.

📰 Team News: Lecce

Lecce manager Roberto D'Aversa has to currently contend with reduced team options. Jeppe Corfitzen (Inner ligament injury), Kastriot Dermaku (Cruciate ligament injury) and Mohamed Kaba (Cruciate ligament injury) miss out here. Lameck Banda cannot play in this game through suspension.

We’re of the thinking that Giallorossi appear most likely to utilise a 4-3-3 lineup using Wladimiro Falcone, Valentin Gendrey, Marin Pongracic, Federico Baschirotto, Antonino Gallo, Alexis Blin, Ylber Ramadani, Hamza Rafia, Pontus Almqvist, Nikola Krstovic and Nicola Sansone.

💡 Prediction X/X

When taking all factors into account, Lecce and Salernitana could find scoring goals difficult here.

There should be little in it, and a draw looks quite a realistic result. That is why we are leaning toward a very even match with a 0-0 score when all is said and done.
