Empoli-Lecce, the probable formations

The penultimate match of the 28th day of Serie A features the challenge between Empoli and Lecce. Kickoff at 18:30 at the Castellani. The Tuscans want to return to the success that has been missing even for more than two months, when they achieved the feat of beating Inter at San Siro. They do not fare any better the Salentini, coming off four defeats in a row in which they never found the way to the net.

Zanetti can count on Ismajli’s recovery in defense although he should start from the bench, with De Winter favored, alongside Luperto. In midfield, Marin is ahead in the ballot with Grassi. In attack, space is given to the Caputo-Satriano pair, with Baldanzi behind them.

In the guests weigh the absences due to disqualification of Umtiti and Maleh: Tuia and Gonzalez ready to replace them. In the offensive trident, Strefezza and Di Francesco are sure of their place, with Colombo favored over Ceesay for the role of sole forward.
