Lecce vs Salernitana
Italian Serie A
Date: 27 January 2023, Friday
Kick-off at 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
Venue: Stadio Comunale Via del Mare (Lecce).

Lecce and Salernitana take on each other in the southern derby on Friday evening at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare.

On top of the bragging rights on the south of the country, the two teams will fight for precious points in the battle for avoiding the relegation scrap.

Lecce are 14tth in the league ladder, sitting two points above 16th-placed Salernitana and eight points above the red zone.

The hosts will go into this winless in three successive league outings. They did not look great six days ago in an easy 2-0 loss away at relegation rivals Verona.

On a positive note for head coach Marco Baroni, his troops have only lost two of nine league fixtures on the home patch this term.

Lecce have scored two goals in each of the previous three home outings in the league despite facing the likes of Atalanta, Lazio, and AC Milan along the way.

The hosts will fancy their chances here knowing that Salernitana have not been pulling up any trees of late.

The visitors are winless in seven straight Serie A affairs. They took only one point in the previous five league outings.

Salernitana conceded ten goals in the previous two defeats to Atalanta and Napoli. They now boast the league’s worst defensive record with 37 goals shipped in 19 matches.
