Lecce vs Napoli Predictions

• Napoli have conceded in each of their last nine games
• The Partenopei have won six of their first eight Serie A games
• Lecce have lost five straight home meetings with Napoli
• The hosts have scored in three of their four defeats this term

Key victory for Napoli

After a 6-2 drubbing at PSV Eindhoven in midweek, the mood around Napoli was worrying ahead of a key Serie A clash against Inter Milan. However, the Partenopei rallied, running out 3-1 winners. Antonio Conte’s side are top of Serie A heading into the midweek round of action.

Napoli visit fifth-bottom Lecce on Tuesday, having won six of their first eight league games. However, each of Napoli’s last five victories across all competitions have seen them concede. In fact, Conte’s outfit have now gone nine matches without keeping a clean sheet.

Tuesday’s opponents Lecce have scored in three of their four defeats this season, including Saturday’s 3-2 reverse at Udinese. They should expect to cause problems for a Napoli side who have conceded in three of their four league trips this term.

While Napoli are struggling at the back, Saturday’s statement win suggests they’ll impress against a Lecce side who have won once in eight attempts this season. The Partenopei have won their last five visits to Lecce, so an away win and both teams to score appeals.
