Prediction: 1-2
Empoli
All eyes will be on Stadio Via del Mare when Lecce and Empoli face each other in the Serie B round 19. Lecce aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Reggina, but the game against Empoli will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. Keep in mind that the Giallorossi recorded only one win in the previous five home fixtures in the Serie B. Coda misses the match through suspension, while Majer, Pettinari, and Rodriguez remain in the recovery room.
The Gli Azzurri, on the other hand, aim to build on a splendid 5-0 win over Salernitana. Empoli have been impressive in front of goal in 2021, and they are surely capable of beating Lecce behind closed doors. Given the number of absentees in the home team, away win should be considered. Cambiaso remains on the sidelines with injury for the visitors.
Highlighted Player (Fabio Lucioni):
Fabio Lucioni is a product of Ternana football school. Lucioni played for the youth team of Ternana from 2002 to 2005 and he eventually made 14 appearances for the first team. The 185-cm-tall defender played for the likes of Monopoli, Noicattaro, Gela, Barletta, Spezia and Reggina in the past as well before joining Benevento in 2014.
Lucioni has established himself as a first-team regular at the club and it has to be noted that he scored three goals in 46 appearances for Benevento in the 2016/2017 Serie B campaign. The Stregoni secured promotion to the Serie A by beating Carpi in the play-offs final, meaning that Lucioni will have a chance to test a top-flight football in the 2017/2018 season.
Lucioni’s main position is centre-back and his contract with Benevento expires on June 30, 2018. The left-footed defender, who was born in Terni on September 25, 1987, has yet to earn a call-up for the Italian national football team.
