The Serie A early-season scrap will see Lecce take on Hellas Verona on Saturday at the Stadio Via del Mare as both teams fight to recover from their bad start to the season.
The Giallorossi have struggled recently in the league, having lost back-to-back games. However, they returned to winning ways last weekend following a 1-0 victory over Fiorentina.
The Gialloblu, on the other hand, are also struggling for consistency, entering the match without a league win in their last five games, managing two draws and three losses. Their recent result was a 2-1 defeat against Inter Milan.

Player to watch: Medon Berisha
Medon Berisha of Lecce will play a key role if the Giallorossi are to get something out of this game. The Kosovo international is one of the best players in the team, having scored one goal and provided one assist this season. His importance in the team can help Lecce, with his ability to get a goal from nothing.
