Monza-Lecce, probable formations

A crucial challenge at the’U-Power Stadium, where Monza is playing one of its last chances to get back into the race for salvation. On the Brianzoli’s road is Marco Giampaolo’s Lecce, a team in good form that, with the Bellinzona coach on the bench, has picked up points in all its direct clashes, with the exception of the away matches against Como and Cagliari.

After the failure of the Bocchetti management (one win and six defeats), Monza decided to rely again on Alessandro Nesta. The’former world champion, exonerated before Christmas after the knockout with Juventus, returns with the knowledge that there are no more margins for error: the direct clashes will be crucial to try to climb the standings. With 8 points away from the salvation zone, every match è a final for the red and white.

On the other side, Lecce has regained confidence under Giampaolo and now boasts a four-point lead over the relegation zone. A victory in Monza, with third-last-place Parma engaged against Roma, could be a decisive step toward staying in Serie A.

Probable lineups

Monza (3-5-2): Pizzignacco; Lekovic, Izzo, Palacios; Pedro Pereira, Urbanski, Bianco, Ciurria, Kyriakopoulos; Mota, Ganvoula. All. Nesta.

Lecce (4-3-3): Falcone; Guilbert, Baschirotto, Jean, Gallo; Pierret, Ramadani, Helgason; Pierotti, Krstovic, Karlsson. All. Giampaolo.
