Lecce-Napoli, the probable formations

Lecce and Napoli will face each other in Friday’s Serie A Week 29 fixture. Kickoff at 7 p.m. at the Via del Mare. The Salentini must break the streak of five consecutive defeats, while the partenopei aim to redeem the 0-4 suffered with Milan in the previous round.

Baroni should rely on the offensive trident composed of Colombo, Strefezza and Di Francesco. To protect Falcone trust Baschirotto and Umtiti with Gendry and Gallo on the side lanes.

Spalletti, however, is expected to make some changes to the starting eleven ahead of the Champions League quarterfinal first leg against AC Milan scheduled for Wednesday, April 12. In attack will be Raspadori with Lozano and Kvaratskhelia on the flanks. In midfield there will be room for the trio of Elmas, Lobotka and Ndombele.

Likely lineups.

LECCE (4-3-3): Falcone; Gendrey, Baschirotto, Umtiti, Gallo; Gonzalez, Hjulmand, Maleh; Di Francesco, Colombo, Di Francesco. All. Baroni

NAPOLI (4-3-3): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Kim, Mario Rui; Elmas, Lobotka, Ndombele; Lozano, Raspadori, Kvaratskhelia. All. Spalletti
