Lecce – Napoli

Napoli look favourites for the match against Lecce

Napoli secured an extremely important victory in the last round. In Naples, the Adzurri defeated Torino 2-0 without any problems. The hosts scored the first goal on 7 minutes. So, Scott McTominay managed to score. The Scotsman made a double in the first half of the match, allowing the team to spend the rest of the game calmly. Incredibly, in the last three meetings, McTominay has scored five goals! Before that, the Scotsman scored the only goal in the Partenopean victory over Monza and with a double he contributed to the defeat of Empoli. Why was this victory so important? Another misfire by Inter made Antonio Conte's men the sole leaders of the standings. With four rounds to go, the Neapolitans are three points ahead of the Nerazzurri. Napoli's opponents are Genoa, Parma and Cagliari. Lecce sensationally shared points with Atalanta last Sunday. "The Wolves managed to score from the spot on 20 minutes, but they had several good chances throughout the match. Bergamaschi equalised only in the 69th minute and almost immediately could have taken the lead. However, the attempts of Gasperini's men to get three points failed. The Giallorossi have perhaps the most difficult calendar of all the relegation candidates. Before the meeting with the "goddess" Giampaolo's wards met with Juventus and Como. In both cases, Lecce suffered defeat, and from Fabregas' team - defeated. In addition to Napoli, the team will have to play with Verona, Torino and Lazio "Wolves" although they conceded 56 goals, but the xGA metric shows that the team should have conceded another 5.1 goals. However, there are hardly any numbers to think about at the Via del Mare. The meeting with Atlanta was marked by a serious scandal. The Giallorossi refused to postpone the game because of the sudden death of their club physiotherapist. The Giallorossi played the match in special shirts, clearly protesting against the decision. Napoli are obviously dreaming of the championship. Last season's failure has already been overturned, but now the team is facing the highest task. The first round encounter, it should be noted, ended with a minimal victory of the Neapolitans with full game dominance. Napoli are four steps away from winning the Scudetto. It would be ridiculous to stumble on the first of them.
