Serie A returns to the fold with another round of matches this week as Lecce lock horns with Maurizio Sarri's Lazio side in an important encounter at the Stadio Olimpico on Friday.

Lecce are currently in 16th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side slumped to a damaging 1-0 defeat at the hands of Hellas Verona last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.

Lazio, on the other hand, are in third place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this season. The Biancocelesti slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of AC Milan in their previous game and have a point to prove this week.
