Parma will host Lecce at the Ennio Tardini on Saturday in another round of the 2025-26 Serie A campaign. The home side endured a slow start to their season but have picked up wins in consecutive games and will be looking to build on that as they sit 14th in the table with five points from an obtainable 15.
They picked up their first win of the Serie A campaign on Monday as they beat Torino 2-1, with Mateo Pellegrino scoring a goal in either half to secure maximum points for Carlos Cuesta's side and snap a nine-game goal drought in the league.
Lecce, meanwhile, are yet to come alive this season and are one of five teams in the Italian top-flight searching for their first win of the campaign. However, they picked up a good point in their game at the weekend as they drew 2-2 with Bologna and had looked set to be headed toward defeat before substitute Francesco Camarda headed home a late equalizer.
The visitors remain rock-bottom in the division with just two points and will be desperate for maximum points this weekend.
