Latest team news for Lecce vs Napoli
Having already lost two key strikers, Romelu Lukaku and Rasmus Hojlund, Napoli suffered another major blow when Kevin De Bruyne sustained a muscle injury shortly after scoring a penalty last weekend.
Additionally, they will be without center-back Amir Rrahmani, defensive midfielder Stanislav Lobotka, and goalkeeper Alex Meret; Vanja Milinkovic-Savic will continue to fill in.
With both Hojlund and Lukaku absent, Brazilian winger David Neres was deployed as a "false nine" in the previous match, but it is highly likely that striker Lorenzo Lucca — despite his poor form — will be given a chance to play against the weaker opponent.
On Lecce's side, they are still without two injured players, Filip Marchwinski and Gaby Jean, but Riccardo Sottil may recover in time to be on the bench.
Like Conte — who was born in Lecce but once managed their rivals Bari — coach Di Francesco also faces a difficult challenge in the attacking line.
Young Francesco Camarda, on loan from AC Milan, has just become the youngest goalscorer in Lecce's Serie A history (17 years and 6 months old), but he will have to compete for a starting spot with Serbian striker Nikola Stulic, who has yet to score a goal since joining from Charleroi.
Latest predicted lineups for Lecce vs Napoli
Lecce:
Falcone; Veiga, Gaspar, Gabriel, Gallo; Coulibaly, Ramadani, Berisha; Pierotti, Stulic, Morente
Napoli:
Milinkovic-Savic; Di Lorenzo, Beukema, Jesus, Spinazzola; Gilmour; Politano, Anguissa, McTominay, Neres; Lucca
Latest football match prediction: Lecce vs Napoli
Winning their crucial early Scudetto clash, Napoli ended Inter's losing streak and simultaneously ended their seven-match winning run by defeating their rivals 3-1 on Saturday.
The reigning Serie A champions were fortunate against last season's runners-up, but three goals from their three midfield stars secured a decisive victory: Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring with a perfectly executed penalty, followed by stunning goals from Scott McTominay and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa in the second half.
Despite Inter hitting the post twice and also scoring from a penalty, Napoli still secured the victory — a result that will undoubtedly bring great joy to former Inter coach Antonio Conte.
Prior to this, Conte's team had just suffered two disastrous away results after the international break: a humiliating defeat against mid-table Torino, followed by a crushing 6-2 loss to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League.
Napoli are now unbeaten in 16 Serie A home games since last December — winning all four of their opening matches this season — but they will have to travel to Lecce for their midweek game.
Having overtaken AC Milan to claim the top spot in the league, Napoli will be looking to defend that position in their away match at Via del Mare.
Lecce have lost all five of their most recent home games against Napoli, suggesting they will go into Tuesday night's match as the underdogs.
While Napoli are aiming for the league title, Lecce are struggling to avoid relegation, having only earned 6 points after the first 8 rounds.
In their most recent match, Lecce were two goals down against Udinese but nearly staged a comeback: Medon Berisha scored his first Serie A goal from a free kick, and the home team almost equalized.
However, Eusebio Di Francesco's pupils conceded a third goal in the final minutes, making Konan N'Dri's late strike merely a consolation.
That defeat ended a promising three-match unbeaten run, and now the Giallorossi must face one of Italy's most formidable "giants".
To date, Lecce have only managed 2 points and scored 3 goals in 4 home games — a sign that Di Francesco is still unable to turn around his poor form at the Via del Mare. In these circumstances, beating Napoli is an almost impossible task.
