Inter Milan and Lecce will meet again in the Serie A Week 17 at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, Milano Saturday, December 23, 2023. Live streaming information, how to watch, match previews and lineup predictions can be found in this article.
Inter just suffered a 2-1 defeat to Bologna in the Coppa Italia match. However, this match is not the right indicator to assess Inter’s current form, considering that they played with most of their reserve players and their main striker, Lautaro Martinez, missed a penalty.
In Serie A this season, the team led by coach Simone Inzaghi, has shown excellent performance. They have lost only 1 of the last 16 matches. Even at their home stadium, the Giuseppe Meazza, Inter have only lost once since the start of the season.
Even though they were thrown out of competition in the Coppa Italia, these facts still show that Inter is a strong team, especially when playing at home. Evidently, they still lead the Serie A standings with 41 points, 4 points ahead of Juventus who are trailing below them.
Meanwhile, Lecce have just ended a series of 11 matches without a win by beating Frosinone 2-1. However, before the win, Lecce had lost 5 and drawn 6 of 11 matches, including 10 in the top flight. This fact shows that Lecce is struggling to find their best form.
In this match at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, Inter will still be without Alexis Sanchez, Denzel Dumfries, Stefan de Vrij and Juan Cuadrado due to injury. However, they still have many other star players. On the other hand, Lecce will be without Pontus Almqvist, who is an important player for them.
Apart from the player from Argentina, Lautaro Martinez who leads the team’s top scorer, Marcus Thuram, the Inter striker, is also Inzaghi’s mainstay. The Italian has directly contributed to 13 goals for Inter in Serie A this season: 7 goals, 6 assists. His impressive performance could be the deciding factor in this match.
On paper, Inter is considered superior to Lecce. In head-to-head meetings, Inter has a significant advantage. Lecce has only won 2 of the last 18 meetings with Inter in Serie A, drawing 3 and losing 13. This fact shows that Inter has a psychological advantage over Lecce.
Inter’s goal will also be difficult for Lecce to break down because they have a strong defense. Inter have won all 9 of their last 9 meetings with Lecce at home in Serie A, including 6 without conceding a goal.
