Salernitana will go in search of only their third win in Serie A when they play host to Lecce on Saturday. The two sides aren’t doing well; Salernitana are bottom of the standings while Lecce are 16th, a point above the relegation zone. The hosts come into this game not only having won the least matches (two) but also having conceded the most (58). They have 14 points only from their 28 matches, which places them 11 points below safety. Salernitana are coming from yet another defeat, losing 4-2 away to Cagliari. This loss leaves them with a massive dent as far as survival is concerned. Salernitana were also in the relegation fight last season but managed 42 points and escaped. It will take a greater effort this term to even get closer to that point tally. From a possible 30 points, in the last 10 matches, Salernitana have managed just two points. They have conceded two or more in seven of their last 10 matches and things haven't been rosy at home either. In Salernitana’s last seven home matches, they don’t have a win; they lost each of their last five home games.

Lecce will also come into this game seeking a return to winning ways. They did win the reverse fixture 2-0 and will be confident coming into this one. That win was just an extension of their dominance in this fixture. Lecce have one loss in their last eight meetings with Salernitana. They have registered five wins in those eight meetings, a reason they will be confident coming here. Lecce’s attacking inadequacies have become a concern for Luca Gotti. In their last five matches, they failed to score in four. Meanwhile they’ve lost all those matches in which they failed to score. The most recent was a 1-0 loss at home to Verona and they’ve won just once in the last 17 matches. They have three more wins than Salernitana in the Serie A but their away form is really poor. The visitors have no win in the last 14 away matches. Lecce have collected just three points from the possible 30 at home in Ligue 1.
