Lecce faces Inter Milan at the Stadio Via del Mare in a fixture from the 26th round of the Serie A. Inter are moving closer to the Serie A title and a win here would help them achieve their goal. Let’s preview this game in our best soccer predictions today. Here we go!
Inter are clearly the strongest team in the Serie A this season. The Nerazzurri have 9 points advantage in front of Juventus, and they even have a game in hand. It means that Simone Inzaghi’s team is closer and closer to the Scudetto. And it will be well deserved.
20 wins and just one loss in 24 matches played – Inter Milan’s stats are explaining pretty well why they are leaders in the league. Last season we saw how good this team is when Inter reached the Champions League final. The man who deserves the credit here is Simone Inzaghi. He’s very close to winning the Serie A for a first time in his career as a manager.
Last weekend Inter achieved another win in the Italian league. The Nerazzurri faced Salernitana at home and it was an easy job – 4-0. Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, Denzel Dumfries and Marko Arnautovic scored for the Milan giants. During the week Inter had another game and achieved an important 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
Most likely Inzaghi will make changes compared to the game against Atletico. Some of the players should get a rest after such a tough battle. Dimarco, Bastoni, Mkhitaryan, Calhanoglu, Barella and Lautaro are among the players who can be rested against Lecce. It means that players like Dumfries, Carlos Augusto, Frattesi and Arnautovic could find themselves in the line-up.
Marko Arnautovic is the player who scored the winning goal against Atletico Madrid. The Austrian veteran could be rewarded for his efforts with a starting place on Sunday. Alexis Sanchez is another player who could find himself in the line-up. Both Arnautovic and Alexis have enough experience to lead the attack against Lecce.
Lautaro Martinez is Inter’s best striker this season. Actually, he’s the best striker in the whole league. The Argentinian star has scored 20 goals since the beginning of the season in the Calcio. Now Simone Inzaghi must decide if he’s going to rest him against Lecce or he will use him again.
Lecce are 13th in the Serie A standings with 24 points won so far. What’s problematic is their current form – Lecce lost four of their last five matches in the league. It puts Lecce just four points above the relegation zone.
Last weekend Lecce suffered their 11th loss for the season. Roberto D’Aversa’s team faced Torino away from home, but the match ended with a 2-0 win for the Bulls. Lecce also finished the game with 10 men on the pitch as Marin Pongracic got sent off in the middle of the second half. The Croatian defender won’t be in the squad for the game against Inter.
Most likely Lecce will defend deep against Inter on Sunday. Pongracic will be missed in defense so Federico Baschirotto will have to take an
even bigger responsibility. In midfield Ramadani, Blin and Rafia will have to deal with the Nerazzurri’s dynamic play in the center of the pitch.
That’s the best soccer predictions today for the Serie A game between Lecce and Inter at the Stadio Via del Mare. Will the Nerazzurri record another win here? They are certainly the favorites to do so. Simone Inzaghi’s team looks very close to the title, but they must finish what they started. A win against Lecce would be another step in the right direction.
