Since the starting of the season Lecce have been struggling to get themselves a position but up to now they could do it and they are in a 12th round currently which means if they can still realise all their mistakes they can still make it out of the relegation zone but now I don't see that happening due to their current form, I noticed that all their 8 points 7 points out of it are all gotten from home, at least this is an honour for them but not enough, is not that Empoli are far better they just got an opportunity at the earlier stage but they tend to declined, in their last five matches they only secured a win, a draw and three losts, since Lecce are hosting let see What they can do.

Although Lecce are playing at home, their statistics for now are quite bad, especially for their defence, which is indeed until now Lecce is one of the clubs with the weakest defence so it looks like this will still be a little difficult for them. The first half is almost over and at the moment the score is still 1 goal in favour of Empoli thanks to a goal scored by Pierto Pellegri.

Lecce seem to want to try to press by taking over possession but it just makes them a little difficult especially with a poor balance in attack and defence making them seem monotonous where the focus becomes divided because their attacking line is not too good in terms of finishing and defence that cannot be left alone for midfielders because their defence is also poor in anticipation of counterattacks.
It seems that for this match Lecce will lose points again even though there is still a second half that has not been played.

Lecce once again was exposed at the back and Empoli took advantage of such vulnerabilities before the break by showcasing the kind of attack that got them the lead in the first half. Even playing in front of their fans, Lecce still appeared to lack the ability to keep the scales tilted in their favor neither when seeking to create attacks nor while looking at how to defend the back line. This made it extremely hard for them to counter the Empoli’s fairly good aggression level.

It will be important for Lecce in the second half to achieve a more stable pace in order to cover for the difference. We have to work on our conversion and must improve the link between midfield and defence in order to reduce the quick break through from the opposite team. It remains a open game, and the second half is a chance for Lecce to demonstrate a higher fighting spirit to.
