Lecce is preparing for a crucial Serie A clash against Napoli, scheduled for Saturday evening at the Stadio Maradona. The Salento side, fresh off an important victory, will aim to consolidate their position outside the relegation zone against a Napoli team seeking their third consecutive win.

The Giallorossi secured a significant 2-1 win over Cremonese last weekend, a result that lifted them out of the relegation zone. However, the path to safety is still long, and every point is vital for the Apulian club.

Antonio Conte's side hopes to achieve their third consecutive league victory. Despite the constant injury issues that have plagued Napoli in 2025-26, there is encouraging news with the return to training of Scott McTominay, Kevin De Bruyne, and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa.

Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa could potentially start in midfield alongside Billy Gilmour, but Scott McTominay and Kevin De Bruyne are not expected to start just yet. Stanislav Lobotka, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani, David Neres, and Antonio Vergara remain sidelined with injuries, while Juan Jesus is a doubt in defense. Napoli's probable lineup (3-4-2-1) features Milinkovic-Savic; Beukema, Buongiorno, Olivera; Politano, Anguissa, Gilmour.

Lecce is expected to stick with a similar side that beat Cremonese. However, according to Sky Sport Italia, there is a chance that Omri Gandelman could come into the starting XI.

Kick-off is due at 17:00 GMT.
