The latest from the fields and the probable lineups of Lecce-Empoli (Friday at 8.45pm, Sacchi referee, live TV on Dazn/Sky):
The latest on Lecce
Lecce is last in the standings, Gotti is at risk and the former D’Aversa player arrives at Via del Mare, with his Empoli in great shape. In the first 11 days of the championship the Giallorossi have always changed formation and today there could be further changes compared to what we saw at Dall’Ara. The defense is not in question: in front of Falcone there will be Guilbert, Gaspar, Baschirotto and Gallo. Question mark for the third choice in midfield in addition to Ramadani and Rafia: will Gotti opt for the certainty Coulibaly or will he experiment once again with Dorgu inside midfield? The former Salernitana player has a slight advantage. The trident could then be made up of Dorgu, Krstovic and Banda, however Pierotti is eager and hopes to snatch a place in the eleven. from Lecce, Filippo Verri)
The latest on Empoli
After the good home performance against Como, coach D’Aversa should largely repeat the same line-up. Goglichidze is back in defense and will compete for the spot on the right with De Sciglio. The Screws and Ismajili department complete the department. The lateral midfield bands will be manned by Pezzella and Gyasi, while in the midfield the trio seen against Como should be confirmed: Haas in the middle with Henderson and Maleh on his sides. up front there is more traffic, since the two shirts available are played by three. Given the good understanding shown, D’Aversa could be teased by the Pellegri-Colombo pairing, with Solbakken ready to take over. (from Empoli, Simone Galli)
