A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Football: Italy Serie A
14th December 2019 – Kickoff time 15:00 [Brescia, Italy Time]
Introduction :
This is a clash between the two sides that were promoted from Serie B last season. Both teams have managed only three wins so far this season, although Lecce are currently four points above the relegation zone, after they managed to get important points from draws against the likes of Milan, Juventus, Sampdoria and Sassuolo.
Last season both sides were battling to become Champion of Serie B. At the end of the season only one point separated the two sides.
Brescia
Corini marked his comeback to the side as coach with a vital victory against fellow relegation battlers SPAL. Mario Balotelli managed to find the back of the net and will be keen to score in this match as well.
It has to be said that Brescia won the Serie B race mainly through the efforts of Alfredo Donnarumma with the Italian striker scoring 25 goals and providing seven assists in 32 matches. He is their top scorer with four goals at the moment although he managed only 25 minutes in Brescia’s last two games and he is likely to make way for Ernesto Torregrossa to start this match.
As for the team news, they will miss the services of Daniele Dessena, while Andrea Cistana is suspended. Goalkeeper Jesse Joronen again needs a fitness test, but he recovered last time and managed to save a penalty for them.
Lecce
Lecce decided to stay with coach Fabio Liverani and no doubt their persistence is finally paying off. In their last match against Genoa they managed a great comeback. Despite trailing by two goals, Liverani made changes and brought on Filippo Falco and Andrea Tabanelli and they scored the goals to steal a vital point.
As for the team news, they will not have the services of Fabio Lucioni and Jacopo Petriccione as they are both suspended. Marco Mancosu and Biagio Meccariello are injured, but will be back for their next match against Bologna.
Past Meetings
Last season Brescia won by 2-1 at home but they lost 0-1 to a Tabanelli goal at the Stadio Via del Mare.
