Lecce will host Cremonese at the Via del Mare on Sunday afternoon in another round of the 2022-23 Italian Serie A campaign.
The Yellow and Reds have not had a fairytale return to the top-flight but picked up their first league win of the season last time out. They beat Salernitana 2-1 away from home, with Assan Ceesay scoring the opener just before the interval and Gabriel Strefezza coming off the bench to score the winner seven minutes from time.
Lecce sit 15th in the league table with six points from seven matches. They will be looking to pick up back-to-back wins when they play on Sunday.
Cremonese have also failed to adapt to top-flight football this season and currently sit deep in the relegation zone.
They were on the receiving end of a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Lazio in their last outing and will be gutted with the result as they put out perhaps their best offensive showing of the season but ultimately came undone by their clinical opponents.
The visitors sit 19th in the Serie A standings with just two points from seven games. They are level on points with Sampdoria in last-place and will be looking to widen that gap this weekend.
