Lecce will face Napoli in week 29 of the 2022/2023 Italian League which can be watched via live streaming on CBS Sports or Paramount+ on Friday, April 07 2023, ET.
Lecce are hoping to repeat their 1-1 draw at the San Paolo in the first leg of the season. However, Napoli will not give up easily as they still lead the standings with 16 points more than their closest rival, Lazio.
Lecce are in 16th place with 27 points, still 8 points above the relegation zone. They have lost their last two home games without scoring a goal, 0-1 to Sassuolo and 0-2 to Torino respectively. Coach Marco Baroni must improve his attack line which only scored 25 goals in 26 matches. He was also unable to field injured defenders Dermaku and Pongracic, as well as suspended midfielder Blin.
Napoli are in excellent form winning four of their last six matches in all competitions. They also made it through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League after beating Eintracht Frankfurt 5-0 on aggregate. Coach Luciano Spalletti has a strong and balanced squad, with the likes of Lozano, Simeone and Kvaratskhelia up front. He only lost the injured Olivera and Osimhen.
Napoli have a good record against Lecce, scoring in their last 12 Serie A meetings. They have also not lost in their last seven visits to Via del Mare. However, Lecce can put up a tough fight if they play with passion and discipline.
