Insights:
  • Lecce have the fewest conceded goals (31) in Serie B
  • Pordenone have the fewest scored goals (29) in Serie B

The season is still full of potential for Lecce as they can still win the whole Serie B. Pordenone are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Pordenone, who are travelling more than 1000 kilometers to play this game.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
