Lecce vs. Naples: Preview and betting tips

Napoli will be looking to make amends for their 0:4 drubbing by AC Milan on Friday and can take another step towards winning the coveted title. What to expect from its match against struggling Lecce and what to bet on?

Lecce have been underachieving since March, losing their last five league rounds. This has put it back in the relegation fight, already in 16th place in the table, with a comfortable eight-point lead for relegation.

Napoli fell to a surprisingly high 0:4 loss to AC Milan after the national break, but it was only their fifth loss in the league season. In the table it is sovereignly first, on the second Lazio Rome has a cushion of 16 points.

Lecce’s key figures

The home side rely on goals from Brazilian Gabriel Strefezza, the skilful striker netting eight goals and assisting once. Lorenzo Colombo, a talented Italian visiting from AC Milan, is on five goals and two assists at 21.

Napoli’s key figures

The visitors are standing on the discovery of the season Khvich Kvaratskheli, the Georgian winger has netted 14 goals and assisted 16. Slovakian Stanislav Lobotka fills the box to box midfielder role, despite a 1+1 record he is indispensable for the club.

Lecce suffer from an unproductive attack, with 24 goals scored they have the third worst offense in the league. The last five rounds have been truly miserable, with Lecce not scoring once while conceding seven times.

Napoli, on the other hand, is an offensive machine. With 64 goals scored, its attack is clearly the best in Serie A, holding an average of over two shots per round. It has scored more than once in 13 of its last 15 games.

Considering Napoli’s long-standing famed attack, Lecce’s terrible offense on the other hand, and the commitment of the visitors who need to atone for their loss to AC Milan, I think Napoli will win away this time.
