SSC Napoli claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Serie A, which also saw them drawing three and losing two matches, in which they scored seven and conceded 11 goals.

Lecce Form

A draw is all that prevents Lecce from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They claimed a point in a 1-1 draw against Cagliari before getting trounced against Udinese by a 0-2 score. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Atalanta ran out 0-2 winners. Lecce claimed two wins against two draws and two defeats in their last six away matches in the Serie A. The scoreline from these matches reads seven goals conceded and six scored.
