Via del Mare is the venue for a Serie A contest on Saturday afternoon as Lecce takes on Verona.
Lecce return to home comforts after a surprising win in Florence against Fiorentina last week while Veron come into this fixture still searching for a first victory of the season.
With both teams struggling for goals this season, we could be set for a tight and likely low-scoring encounter on Saturday.

Serie A
Lecce and Verona have met on nine occasions since 2019. Verona won five games while Lecce recorded two victories. Each of their last three meetings finished with under 2.5 goals scored.
Lecce team overview
Lecce comes into Saturday's Serie A contest with spirits raised following a shock 1:0 road win against Fiorentina last weekend. Medon Berisha's second goal of the season secured only a 2nd win of the campaign for Eusebio Di Francesco's side.
Ten games into the season, Lecce sit 15th in the division with only nine points on the board. The hosts remain winless at Via del Mare with just two points picked up from five home Serie A games this season.
A lack of attacking firepower has been the biggest issue for Di Francesco's side. Lecce scored just three goals at home this season, while four of their five most recent games finished with under 2.5 goals scored.
Head coach Di Francesco has four injured players likely to miss out this weekend. Filip Marchwiński, Balthazar Pierret, Matías Pérez Sepúlveda and Gaby Jean are tipped to remain unavailable for selection.

Verona team overview
Verona comes into Saturday's Serie A contest still searching for their first Serie A victory of the season. Hellas slipped to a 2:1 defeat against Inter in their most recent home fixture last weekend.
Ten games into the campaign, Paulo Zanetti's side find themselves inside the relegation zone with just five points on the board.
On the road, the visitors failed to score in four of five away Serie A games this season, while they have registered just four goals in their seven most recent matches.
Head coach Zanetti has several injury issues on Saturday. Mutassim Al-Musrati, Suat Serdar, Daniel Oyegoke, Unai Núñez, Tomáš Suslov, and Yellu Santiago are all sidelined through injury.

Prediction
Both teams have struggled in respective home and away matches, and I expect another low-scoring outcome in Saturday's Serie A contest.
Under 2.5 goals is my preferred pick this weekend.
Three Reasons Why We Expect Under 2.5 Goals
- Lecce have seen under 2.5 goals in 4 of theory last 5 matches
- Verona scored 4 goals in their last 7 matches
- Verona have seen under 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches against Lecce
Main prediction -
Under 2.5 goals
