Lecce host Sampdoria at the Via del Mare on Sunday (April 16) in Serie A. The hosts are struggling in the league at the moment and could find themselves in a relegation tussle.
The hosts lost 2-1 by Napoli in their last game and perhaps deserved more from the game after a commendable performance against the leaders. Lecce are 16th in the league with 27 points from 29 games. They’re five points above the drop zone.
Sampdoria, meanwhile, have endured an abysmal campaign, finding themselves deep in the drop zone, with manager Dejan Stankovic running out of time to save I Blucerchiati. They were beaten 3-2 by Cremonese last time out and will be gutted to have come away with nothing after creating multiple chances to take the win.
