The Serie A clash between Napoli and Lecce promises to be an intriguing encounter, showcasing two teams with distinct trajectories in the current season. Napoli, traditionally a strong contender in Italian football, has demonstrated formidable form, aiming for a top position in the league standings. Conversely, Lecce's recent performances suggest they are striving to establish themselves firmly in Serie A after their promotion. This match not only serves as a battle for points but also as an opportunity for both teams to assess their capabilities against each other .
Khvicha Kvaratshkelia scored from the spot to inspire Napoli to a hard-earned 1-0 away win to Empoli last weekend. It was their sixth win in seven league matches (D1) since a 3-0 thrashing at Hellas Verona on Antonio Conte’s touchline debut. As a result, the Partenopei enter this round as early pacesetters, boasting a two-point lead on second-placed Inter.
With the resurgent reigning Scudetto holders facing Juventus in the latest edition of the famous Derby d’Italia on Sunday, this could be a perfect opportunity for Napoli to stretch their advantage at the table’s summit. Heavily fancied to take three points against a downtrodden Lecce side they’ve defeated twice in their last three meetings (D1), Conte’s men return home, where they’ve been unplayable this season.
Conflicting spirits and a substantial gulf in quality make us believe the home fans could be in for a treat. Napoli are in far better shape and boast significantly more quality as we back them to put Lecce to the sword and register another multi-goal margin victory.
Napoli (4-2-3-1): Elia Caprile; Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani, Alessandro Buongiorno, Mathias Olivera; Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, Billy Gilmour; Matteo Politano, Scott McTominay, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia; Romelu Lukaku.
Lecce (4-2-3-1): Wladimiro Falcone; Frederic Guilbert, Kialonda Gaspar, Federico Baschirotto, Patrick Dorgu; Ylber Ramadani, Balthazar Pierret; Lameck Banda, Remi Oudin, Ante Rebic; Nikola Krstovic
