Lecce look to Nikola Stulic in a crucial Serie A game against Mateo Pellegrino’s Parma at the Stadio Via Del Mare.
It kicks off at 12:30 CET (11:30 GMT) in Lecce. It’s a big game in the race for survival as just one point separates the Salentini (16th) and the Ducali (15th) in the Serie A standings.
Lecce must cope without Berisha, Fruchtl, Pierret, Tete Morente and Jean. Parma have travelled to the Via Del Mare without Ndiaye, Frigan, Suzuki and Lovik.
Stulic returns to Lecce’s XI after that Milan loanee Camarda had started in two consecutive Serie A matches, while Parma rely on their top-goal scorer Pellegrino.
It’s a game between the weakest attacking forces in the league, as Lecce and Parma have only managed to score 12 goals each in 18 games so far.
Parma and Lecce will play again next Wednesday in a rescheduled Serie A Week 16 fixture. The Ducali will travel to Napoli, while Lecce will visit Inter.
Below are the confirmed line-ups for Lecce-Parma and live updates from the Via Del Mare.
Lecce (4-3-3): Falcone; Veiga, Gaspar, T. Gabriel, Ndaba; Kaba, Ramadani, Maleh; Banda, Stulic, Pierotti.
Parma (4-3-2-1): Corvi; Delprato, Circati, Valenti, Valeri; Bernabé, Keita, Sorensen; Ondrejka, Oristanio; Pellegrino.
