📈 Lecce v Napoli Form & Stats
There were rumours before Napoli’s 3-1 win over Inter Milan last time out that the relationship between the board and Antonio Conte was starting to fracture. This was perhaps the most predictable storyline of the season, Conte rarely stays in a role for too long with his interpersonal relationships suffering at every single club he’s been at.
Conte’s passion can get in the way of his coaching but he usually settles down after a big win like Napoli had over Inter Milan, leaving them in a solid position. Conte often finds a way to shatter a good situation which is where Napoli find themselves right now, it’ll be up to Conte as to whether Napoli can push on from this point or if they implode due to Conte’s stubbornness.
Lecce have won just one of their last five matches across all competitions which was a hard fought 1-0 win over Parma who are also struggling towards the bottom of Serie A at the moment. The fact that they haven’t managed to win at home yet is a big warning sign for Lecce, as opportunities on the road will become increasingly rare as the season unfolds.
Only Torino (14) have conceded more goals in Serie A this season than Lecce (13). This record should see Napoli have control of the game and generate multiple scoring chances against a weak Lecce outfit.
