Brescia and Lecce are set to face off on Thursday evening in the 10th matchday of the Italian Serie B.
Brescia began their league campaign without a defeat in their first six games. However, they suffered a slight setback as they lost back-to-back games, first against Como and then Perugia.
Brescia, however, returned to winning ways at the weekend with a narrow 1-0 win over Cremonese.
Brescia now sit second in Serie B with 17 points from nine games. They are just three points behind Pisa at the top of the table and will be looking to keep up the pressure on their rivals with a win on Thursday.
