Team News

  • Carrozzieri is back available, but coach Cosmi could confirm his trust in Oddo, Miglionico and Tomovic.
  • Lecce welcomed back Bulgarian striker Bojinov, but the former Fiorentina and Juventus man is only set to make the bench.
  • Cuadrado will take his spot back on the right flank after serving a suspension.
  • As only Loria is unavailable in defence, Raggi, Antonsson and Portanova are going to start the match, with Cherubin out.
  • Acquafresca was set to have a chance in the derby against Fiorentina, but as all the team were rested he is going back to the bench.
  • Diamanti and Ramirez will offer support to the lone striker Di Vaio.

Prediction

  • Lecce achieved even more than expected with a total three points in the matches against Udinese and Inter, but they are still far from safe as Siena are three points ahead with one match still to play. Cosmi has, however, done a great job in making his team believe that they can still avoid relegation despite a very bad start.
  • After three consecutive draws, which also stretches to four unbeaten matches in a row, Bologna are still sitting pretty comfortably in the table, with 5 points more than Lecce and one match more to play. However, losing this match could affect team morale and confidence, so it is mandatory for the away side not to concede points to their rivals.
  • Expect Lecce to attack from the first minute, trying to exploit the flanks, especially with Cuadrado's speed on the right side. Bologna will defend the goal and attempt to counter-attack when given the opportunity, relying on their two trequartistas, who are finally both fit to play. Unless they commit some mistakes at the start, Lecce should be able to win the match with the help of the crowd, which have finally stopped protesting against the board and started supporting the team.
  • PREDICTION: Lecce win 2-0
