Team News

Lecce
  • Cosmi will be without Cuadrado on the right flank, as the Colombian is suspended.
  • The coach is likely to field Bertolacci in that spot to have a wide attacking solution.
  • Esposito will lead the defence, leaving Carrozzieri on the bench.
Parma
  • Zaccardo is injured, so Santacroce should play in defence along with Lucarelli and Paletta.
  • Modesto and Biabiany are favoured over Gobbi and Jonathan to patrol the flanks.
  • Valiani and Musacci could be used to give some rest to the midfielders, but they should start on the bench.

Prediction

  • Lecce failed in their first attempt to overtake Genoa and get away from the relegation zone, but this will be another opportunity. Genoa are playing away again and the Giallorossi will host a more favourable opponent than Napoli.
  • Parma can claim that their safety is already achieved, so their trip to Lecce could easily turn into a defeat. However, Giovinco is still trying to gain a place at EURO 2012, so he could lead his team once again to try and win some more points.
  • Expect Parma to sit and wait, as they have no need for the points. The hosts will push less than usual from the flanks without Cuadrado, but they will bring their aggression in the midfield. As 10 players will be in that zone of the pitch, winning that battle will be the key to this match.
