Lecce host Sampdoria at Via del Mare on Sunday (April 16) in Serie A. The hosts are struggling in the league at the moment and could find themselves in a relegation fight.
The hosts lost 2-1 to Napoli in their last match and perhaps deserved more of the match after a commendable performance against the leaders. Lecce is 16th in the league with 27 points from 29 games. They are five points above the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Sampdoria have endured a dismal campaign, finding themselves deep in the drop zone, with manager Dejan Stankovic running out of time to save I Blucerchiati. They were beaten 3-2 by Cremonese last time out and will be heartbroken to come away with nothing after creating multiple chances to take victory.
