If Naples blows hot and cold this season, the reigning champion achieves the small feat of retaining his seat as leader of Serie A after 3 months of competition. Last week illustrated all the contrasts of the Neapolitan campaign. Humiliated in Eindhoven against PSV in the Champions League (2-6), Kevin De Bruyne and his teammates gave the best response by taming Inter Milan a few days later in a shock at the top of Serie A (3-1).
A victory which allows Naples to approach the rest with more serenity, despite all its areas of progression. This Tuesday, the champion is back with a much more affordable match against another team from the south, Lecce. Modest sixteenth in Serie A, the Puglia club will count on its public to hope to create the feat. Naples will have to do without Kevin De Bruyne, who is suffering from a muscle injury.
The expected compositions
Lecce : Falcone; Veiga, Gaspar, Gabriel, Gallo; Coulibaly, Ramadani, Berisha; Pierotti, Stulic, Morente.
AC Milan : Milinkovic-Savic; Di Lorenzo, Beukema, Jesus, Spinazzola; Gilmour; Politano, Anguissa, McTominay, Neres; Lucca.
Where to watch the match?
This match between Lecce and Naples counting for the 9th day of Serie A will be broadcast this Tuesday on DAZN, from 6:30 p.m.
