Serie A Week 28: Lecce vs. Cremonese – Match Preview and Confirmed Line-ups
Lecce will rely on Nikola Stulic as they face Jamie Vardy's Cremonese in a pivotal Serie A encounter. The match is scheduled for a 12:30 CET (11:30 GMT) kick-off at the Stadio Via del Mare.
This fixture is set to be a tense battle for Serie A survival, as both teams are tied on 24 points, along with Fiorentina. While Lecce currently sit in the relegation zone, their position is solely due to goal difference.
The Giallorossi have shown better form recently, securing six points from their last five league games, whereas Cremonese has managed just one point over the same span.
Conversely, the Grigiorossi appeared relatively safe a few weeks ago but have since gone winless since their last encounter on December 7, scoring only a single goal in their last eight matches.
Lecce will be without Medon Berisha, Francesco Camarda, Olaf Gorter, and Kialonda Gaspar. Cremonese also faces absences, with Michele Collocolo, Federico Baschirotto, and Faris Moumbagna out due to injury, and Filippo Terracciano suspended.
Later today, their fellow relegation contenders, Fiorentina, will host Parma at the Stadio Franchi, with kick-off at 15:00 CET.
Lecce vs. Cremonese – Confirmed Line-ups
Lecce (4-2-3-1): Falcone; Danilo Veiga, Siebert, Tiago Gabriel, Gallo; Coulibaly, Ramadani; Pierotti, Ngom, Banda; Stulic.
Cremonese (3-5-2): Audero; Bianchetti, Luperto, Folino; Barbieri, Maleh, Thorsby, Vandeputte, Pezzella; Vardy, Bonazzoli.
