Lecce vs Verona: Preview

Serie A Returns with Matchday 17

Serie A is back in action this weekend with Matchday 17, as Lecce welcome Hellas Verona to the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare on Sunday afternoon. Both teams will be looking to get their campaigns back on track after disappointing results in their last outings.

Lecce Aiming to End Three-Game Winless Streak

Lecce have endured a difficult run of form in recent weeks, losing their last three matches in all competitions. They were beaten 2-0 by Lazio in Serie A, 1-0 by Napoli in the Coppa Italia, and 3-1 by Fiorentina in their most recent outing. As a result, they have dropped to 15th in the table, just two points above the relegation zone.

Verona Seeking First Win in Five

Verona's form has also been poor of late. They have not won in their last four matches in all competitions, losing three and drawing one. Their most recent defeat came against Salernitana, who beat them 2-1 at home. The Gialloblu are now 16th in the table, one point behind Lecce.
