How to Watch Lecce vs Salernitana: Stream Serie A Live in Canada ...

Serie A survivalists Lecce and Salernitana collide in a clash that could have far-reaching consequences on the fight to stay up

A much-improved Lecce outfit will host Salernitana in Italy’s top flight for the first time on Friday, with two teams battling for top-flight survival desperate to move away from the bottom of the table. Prior to the 2022 World Cup, Lecce was just two places off Serie A’s bottom three and four places behind the Garnets, but the club has since succeeded in leapfrogging Salernitana after losing just one of its last seven games. Davide Nicola’s side has claimed just two points from the last 21 on offer in the same span, meanwhile, and now looks desperate to stave off the drop amid a downward spiral in form.

Home draws against Torino (1-1) and Cremonese (2-2) are all Salernitana has to show for its troubles since the start of November, rivaling the latter for the worst form in Italy’s first tier.

To make matters worse, 18th-place Verona has started to find some form since the turn of the year, and it’s looking likely that those directly above could get dragged down unless there’s change, and soon.

Salernitana did attempt to kickstart its campaign by firing manager Nicola after an 8-2 demolition at Atalanta on January 15—only to re-hire the man who salvaged the club’s Serie A status by a single point last term:

A 2-0 defeat at home to runaway leader Napoli failed to give the club the bounce-back it so desires, but a trip east to the Stadio Via del mare gives the visitors a much better chance at points.

However, Lecce has proved itself tough to beat on home soil this season, with Juventus and Inter Milan the only teams who have managed to score maximum spoils at their ground this term.

Wins over Atalanta and Lazio—as well as a 2-2 draw against champion AC Milan earlier in January—point to precisely why Marco Baroni’s men are no small challenge in front of their own fans.

What’s more, Lecce is unbeaten in its last six showdowns with Salernitana and has won four of those, with the Garnets having failed to notch a win in this fixture since their days together in Serie C almost eight years ago (March 2015).
