Salernitana vs Lecce Prediction: the Garnets not to lose a low-scoring game

Salernitana and Lecce will open round 7 of the Italian championship. Who will be stronger? Let's choose several bets at once.

Davide Nicola's team approaches the match against Lecce with a perfect streak of five games without losses. Moreover, the loss in the first round against Roma (0-1) is the only one for Salernitana in the new championship. The Garnets thrashed Sampdoria 4-0 and played four draws – with Udinese (0-0), Bologna (1-1), Empoli (2-2), and in the previous matchday with Juventus (2-2). And after the first half against Juve, Salerno led 2-0. A brilliant start to the season for a team that struggled for survival last season.

At the beginning of the season, Marco Baroni's team scored very little, but also almost never conceded. Quality play in defense allows Lecce to score consistently. The Yellow and Reds lost to Inter (1-2), Sassuolo (0-1), and Torino (0-1), but managed to tie the score with Empoli, last round with Monza, and even away with Napoli, 1-1 each time. Lecce have no wins in their assets, but perhaps this defensive low-scoring style of play will help the modest team to retain their place in Serie A at the end of the season.

• Salernitana: Emil Bohinen, Matteo Lovato will not play. Ivan Radovanovic, Franck Ribery are questionable;
• Lecce: Kastriot Dermaku, Gabriel Strefezza are questionable.

Salernitana is off to a great start in the championship, and it is no coincidence that at the end of six rounds the team is in the middle of the standings. But Lecce are also very good at the start of the championship. It was difficult for Inter to crack the defense of the Yellow and Reds, scoring the decisive goal on 90+5, and Napoli lost no points in the game with Lecce. Salerno will also have a tough time. It is likely that the Garnets will not lose at home, but it is not certain that they will be able to get three points against a team as organized as Lecce.

Prediction: Salernitana will be closer to winning not the most productive game.
