Heading into Week 27 Brescia find themselves third from bottom in the Serie A table with 23 points from 26 matches. All is not lost for the Biancoazzurri, though, as they are just three points behind Catania, who are 17th.
Ahead of their relegation six-pointer against Lecce, Brescia will take encouragement from their goalless draw with Udinese in Udine last weekend. The Bianconeri are in a great run of form and are fighting for a place in Europe, and staving them off from scoring is a feat indeed.
Increasing The Gap
Lecce have been in and around the relegation zone for long but heading into this weekend’s round of matches in Serie A, the Giallorossi find themselves with some breathing space as they lie 15th in the standings, four points clear of the dropzone.
Lecce have also run into a bit of good form as they have won two of their last four matches. Last weekend Luigi De Canio’s side conjured up a massive shocker as they destroyed former Italian and European champions Juventus 2-0 at home.
TEAM NEWS
Brescia
Dallamano, Sereni, Filippini and Cordova are injured for Brescia and will miss the visit of Lecce.
Lecce
Giuliatto, Di Michele, Ofere, Tomovic and Ferrario are injured and will miss the trip to Brescia. Giacomazzi and Vives are suspended.
Prediction
This is a relegation six-pointer that could go either way. Brescia will have the edge as they are at home and could just about sneak all three points.
Brescia 2-0 Lecce
