We have three games from Serie A on Saturday afternoon, with one of those being this game where Lecce will take on Napoli. The current title holders Napoli hit a small rough patch recently, but they put that firmly behind them with a big win over Udinese in midweek, they'll be looking to put it further behind them when they travel to take on Lecce on Saturday.
Lecce Form GuideLecce have been excellent so far this season, well better than what I expected from them. They head into the weekend with three wins, two draws and one defeat from their first six games. Their loss came during midweek, after five unbeaten, and it's going to be interesting to see how they bounce back now that they've suffered their first set back.
It was a decent performance, but they ultimately lost 1-0 away at Juventus. Before that, they won 1-0 to Genoa, and those games have been typical of their performances so far. It's not been flashy and bold, instead they've just quietly gone about their business in good fashion, taking their chances and defending very strongly.
Napoli Form GuideWith the way that Napoli won the league last season, many are probably a little disappointed with the start they've had this season. Three wins, two draws and one defeat is good, they are just four points off the top of the table, however, it's also a sign of how big expectations are on this team, the fact that some aren't happy with their performances given the points they've picked up.
They won 4-1 during midweek against Udinese, and that could be the win that gets them back on track here. Before that they drew two and lost one, so went three without a win.
Match PredictionI have the ultimate respect for Lecce, but do wonder how they are going to cope with their loss in midweek, the first time they've faced adversity. So with that, I will take Napoli to win this game, a good win during midweek, I fancy them to back that up here, and take another three points.
