- DRAW: 23/10 (3.30) – 30.3%

Player to watch – Matteo Cancellieri
Italian U21 international Matteo Cancellieri showcased his potential against Milan last weekend when he notched one of Parma’s goals in their 3-2 loss at San Siro and the 22—year-old has the talent to make a similar impact on Friday.
Cancellieri showing potential
Cancellieri, who is on loan at Parma from Lazio for the duration of the campaign, has scored three times in 13 appearances for his temporary employers and the youngster has also been averaging a healthy 1.20 dribbles per game. Cancellieri’s skillset could make him a nuisance against Lecce.
