Salernitana vs Lecce Prediction and Betting Tips | March 16th 2024
Salernitana will host Lecce at the Stadio Arechi on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Serie A campaign.
The home side have endured a challenging campaign and are rapidly running out of time to save their top-flight status. They were beaten 4-2 by Cagliari in their last league outing, finding themselves three goals down before Grigoris Kastanos and Giulio Maggiore scored two quickfire consolation goals in the second half.
Salernitana sit rock-bottom in the Serie A standings with just 14 points from 28 matches and will be desperate for a positive result this weekend.
Lecce have also struggled to pick up points in the second half of the season and currently find themselves just outside the drop zone. They were beaten 1-0 by Hellas Verona in their last match falling behind in the opening 20 minutes and failing to find a way back into the clash before a tense finish to the game saw head coach Roberto D'Aversa headbutt an opposition player, prompting the dismissal of the Italian manager.
The visitors sit 16th in the league table with 25 points from 28 games and will be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways on Saturday.
