Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Lecce and Frosinone go head to head at Stadio Via del Mare in the opening match of Saturday’s program. The Giallorossi have drawn each of their last four league matches and, no doubt, they are eager to return to winning ways in the Italian top flight. Both Pontus Almqvist and Jeppe Corfitzen are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team ahead of the visit of Frosinone.
The Canarini, on the other hand, played out a boring goalless draw with Torino at the weekend. Frosinone and Lecce seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils in the round 16 clash. The likes of Jesus Carvalho, Riccardo Marchizza, and Sergio Kalaj remain on the sidelines with injuries, whereas midfielder Enzo Barrenchea returns from suspension.
Highlighted Team (Lecce):
When you imagine a yellow-red shirt, Lecce must be the first club that comes to your mind. Founded back in 1908, Lecce are Italian club that will compete in the Serie A in the 2019/2020 season. The Giallorossi return to the Italian top flight following a seven-year absence and, as always, they will host their rivals at Stadio Via del Mare.
The venue which was opened on September 11, 1966 can hold up to 33,876 people. The likes of Antonio Conte, Graziano Pelle, Javier Chevanton, Juan Cuadrado, Mirko Vucinic, Fabrizio Miccoli and Massimo Oddo are one of the most notable footballers who played for the Italian club in the past.
Lecce and Gallipoli face each other in the Salento derby and there have been fireworks in meetings between the two clubs since the 2009/2010 Serie B season when they first met in the league.
