Team News

Lecce
Inter
  • Marin Pongracic will be unavailable for the hosts after being sent off against Torino.
  • Lameck Banda should also be benched in favour of Nicola Sansone.
  • Simone Inzaghi will make a couple of rotations ahead of next week's game against Atalanta with Carlos Augusto, Davide Frattesi and Kristjan Asllani all more than likely to start.
  • Marcus Thuram has been ruled out with a muscular injury for about three weeks and will be replaced by Marko Arnautovic.

Prediction

  • Lecce are four points above relegation following their 2-0 defeat against Torino last Friday.
  • The Salentini will host league leaders Inter, who demolished Salernitana with a dominant performance and 4-0 win.
  • Lecce has been a tricky venue for Inter over the last decade and the Nerazzurri are coming off midweek fatigue in the Champions League, but Simone Inzaghi's team are arguably playing the best football in Europe right now and have good backup options in case of rotations.
  • It will be interesting to see how Marko Arnautovic will replace a key player like Marcus Thuram after the Austrian scored consecutive goals against Salernitana and Atletico Madrid a few days ago, but also missed several chances in those same games.
