Napoli haven't had the best of starts to the season, a matter they will hope to address when facing Lecce next. The champions travel to Lecce placed fifth, a place above their hosts, with both sides on 11 points. For a side that finished 16th last season, Lecce are having a very strong start. They’ve won half of their six league matches so far. Here, the hosts will hope to respond to a 1-0 defeat to Juventus in their last game. That was only their first loss of the season and also the first time in seven matches that they failed to score. In their last six matches against Napoli, however, Lecce have managed just one win. They lost four of the six matches. Their home form is however great, with four straight wins in all competitions. In the league at home, however, they’ve managed four wins only in the last 14 matches.

Napoli have moved on from the controversy after Victor Osimhen’s penalty miss in the 0-0 draw with Bologna. They thrashed Udinese 4-1 in their last game, with Osimhen scoring in open play after Piotr Zielinski’s opener from the spot. That was their fourth unbeaten outing after the home loss to Lazio. They’ve won two of the last three matches, and only failed to score once this season. Napoli have four wins in their seven matches so far and scored two or more in three of the last four. Their Serie A run hasn’t been very smooth, which is the reason they are four points off the mark. They have one win and one clean sheet in their last four league matches.
