Player to watch – Nikola Krstovic
It’s fair to say that Lecce would have been lost without the goalscoring talents of Nikola Krstovic this season and the 24-year-old forward has scored almost 50% of his team’s goals in Serie A this term.
Krstovic could be a match-winner again
Krstovic has hit ten goals in Serie A this term and has been enjoying the most prolific campaign of his club career so far. The Montenegrin has notched three times in his last three appearances in Serie A for Lecce and the striker’s lethal touch in the final third could be crucial again on Sunday.
