Lecce Preview – Can Lecce end early warning signs?
It’s been two seasons since Lecce were last in the Italian top flight but promotion at the end of last season’s Serie B campaign saw the hosts return to Serie A but it’s not been a happy return so far this season.
Early losses to Inter Milan 2-1 and a 1-0 defeat n last weekend’s visit to Sassuolo means that Lecce head into this Sunday’s encounter against Empoli with zero points under their belt and having recorded just one win from the previous seven meetings against Empoli, Lecce could have their work cut out again this weekend as well.
Empoli Preview – Can Empoli walk away with something?
Sunday’s visitors, Empoli, have fared marginally better than their hosts, Lecce, as they make their way to the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare with one point to their name thanks to a 0-0 draw at home with Fiorentina.
Empoli were handed a 1-0 loss away at Spezia on the opening day of this new Serie A season while the bigger picture of their results away from home have been pretty disappointing; Empoli have registered just one win out of their last 12 outings on the road but they do hold a solid record against Lecce in the head-to-head meetings.
