Lecce welcome Pisa to the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare in a relegation battle on Friday, with both sides desperate for points as they look to pull themselves away from the bottom of the Serie A table.
The home team enter this round just outside the Serie A relegation zone in 17th place, a position that is far from safe. Their last match ended in a 2-0 defeat to Cremonese, preventing them from climbing into mid-table safety.
So far this season, Lecce have managed just three league wins, and that defeat marked the third time in their last four matches that they failed to score. Their previous home game, a win over Torino, provides some comfort, as they have avoided defeat in four of their previous five matches at Stadio Via del Mare.
The visitors sit just below Lecce in the table, three points adrift. They have suffered consecutive home defeats against Inter Milan and Parma without scoring. However, their away form tells a different story.
They have drawn their last three league matches on the road, each ending 2-2, and scored first in the previous two. Coach Alberto Gilardino hopes that pattern continues, aiming for their first Serie A away win as they seek to challenge Lecce.
