Player to watch – Nikola Krstovic

Lecce striker Nikola Krstovic is likely to be one of the main goal threats in this game. He’s not prolific but has chipped in with five goals and one assist in Serie A so far this term.

An aerial threat

40% of Nikola Krstovic’s goals since moving to Italy have been with his head. He made a flying start to his Serie A career with headed goals on match days two and three but has struggled to keep up his early good form.
