Lecce and Verona resume their bid to move away from the relegation zone as they meet this weekend. This Serie A match will be played at Lecce’s home venue, Stadio Via del Mare, on Sunday. Ahead of this round of games, the hosts are 13th with 25 points, while the visitors are 17th with 23 points. The lower half of the table is very crowded, with teams from 13th to 18th separated by just two points. Lecce are coming off a 1-1 draw with Frosinone, which helped them end a three-game losing streak. That said, their overall form doesn’t make good reading, with eight losses from their last 11 Serie A matches. The situation is slightly better at home, where they have won two and drawn three of their last seven league matches played here.

Verona are coming off a 1-0 win over Sassuolo, which is massive in the context of the season. With this weekend full of matches between lower-half teams, Verona can actually move up the table with another win. The challenge, though, is that they haven’t won consecutive league games this season since matchday two. Recent form at least guarantees that they are going to be a tough team to beat, as Verona have avoided defeat in four of their last six league games. While this makes for good reading, the visitors have struggled on the road and will be worried about this trip. Verona have lost 11 of their last 14 away matches in all competitions, drawing the other three. While that doesn’t inspire confidence, the fact that they have gone eight Serie A matches unbeaten against Lecce should inspire the visitors.
