Lecce v Verona: Serie A Match Preview (29.10.2024)

Serie A strugglers Lecce and Verona face off in a relegation six-pointer on Sunday, October 29, 2023.

Lecce

Lecce have made a poor start to the season, picking up just one point from their first eight games. They are currently bottom of the table and in desperate need of a win.

New manager Marco Baroni has yet to find the right formula, and his team has looked disjointed and lacking in confidence.

Lecce will be without several key players for this game, including defender Federico Baschirotto and midfielder Morten Hjulmand.

Verona

Verona have also struggled this season, but they have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks.

New manager Salvatore Bocchetti has overseen two wins and a draw in his first three games in charge.

Verona will be without the suspended Pawel Dawidowicz for this game, but they will be boosted by the return of midfielder Ivan Ilic.

Prediction

This is a difficult game to call, as both teams are in poor form.

However, Lecce's home advantage could give them the edge.

Prediction: Lecce 1-0 Verona
