Serie A 2025-2026: Lecce-Como, the likely lineups

The Via del Mare is preparing to welcome, at 3 p.m. Saturday, the challenge between Lecce and Como, a confrontation that can weigh heavily on their respective seasonal ambitions. The two teams arrive with different situations but with the same need to give continuity to their progress, at a time of the season when every detail can make a difference.

In Lecce, Di Francesco has to reckon with Berisha’s absence and some aches and pains concerning Tiago Gabriel, who is not at his best: in his place Ndaba could be employed, ready to complete the defensive line in front of Falcone. In midfield, space will be given to the Kaba-Ramadani-Maleh trio, while the attack will be entrusted to Pierotti, Stulic and Sottil.

Fabregas’ Como arrives in Salento with some heavy defections: Diao is unavailable and Addai has not been summoned, while Caqueret remains in the pits due to a muscle problem. In the middle of the field it will therefore be up to the Perrone-Da Cunha pair to provide balance, with Nico Paz deployed behind Douvikas in the 4-2-3-1. On the flanks, space will be given to Vojvoda and Rodriguez.

Probable lineups

Lecce (4-3-3): Falcone; Danilo Veiga, Siebert, Tiago Gabriel, Gallo; Kaba, Ramadani, Maleh; Pierotti, Stulic, Sottil. All. Di Francesco.

Como (4-2-3-1): Butez; Smolcic, Ramon, Diego Carlos, Valle; Perrone, Da Cunha; Vojvoda, Paz, Rodriguez; Douvikas. All. Fabregas.
