Salernitana will entertain Lecce at the Stadio Arechi in their upcoming Serie A fixture on Friday.

The home team are undefeated in their league games since their opening day loss to Roma. In their previous outing, they held Turin giants Juventus to a 2-2 draw. They took a two-goal lead in the first half but Juventus fought hard and Leonardo Bonucci scored the equalizing goal in the third minute of added time in the second half.

Lecce are one of six teams without a win in Serie A after six games, playing out three losses and suffering three losses. They played out a 1-1 draw against fellow promoted side Monza last time around.

Salernitana vs Lecce Prediction

The home team have scored a respectable nine goals this term and also have a decent defensive record, conceding six goals in six games. Lecce have the second-worst attacking record in the Italian top-flight, scoring four goals. They have conceded seven goals.

They have failed to score in two of their three away games this term and might struggle in this game. Salernitana have scored in their last four games after blanking in the first two and should be able to overcome the visitors' challenge with ease.

Prediction: Salernitana 2-0 Lecce
