How Does US Lecce Arrive?

Under the leadership of Marco Giampaolo, Lecce is striving to move away from the relegation zone in the Italian Serie A. In their last match, they suffered a heavy 2-0 defeat against Como, revealing defensive issues and a lack of creativity in attack. However, they showed a better version at home, beating 2-1 Monza in a match where they capitalized on their chances. Nonetheless, performances like the 4-1 loss to Roma highlight the inconsistency that has plagued their season.

Despite their ups and downs, Lecce has had some standout moments, such as their 1-0 victory against Venezia and their 1-1 draw with Juventus, demonstrating compact defense and resilience against higher-tier teams. While they remain in a precarious position, the team continues to fight to stay in the top flight.
