Lecce are in a precarious position, having won their opener but then suffered back-to-back defeats to Roma and Cagliari. The Salentini will be looking to bounce back against Monza, who picked up their first point of the season against Parma. However, Monza will be without several key players, including Jan Ziolkowski, Cyril Ngonge, Patrick Ciurria, Matteo Pessina and Idrissa Touré, while new signing Exequiel Zeballos is only fit for the bench.
The match is a must-win for both teams, with Lecce and Monza currently sitting in the relegation zone. The Salentini will be hoping to get back on track and move away from the danger zone, while Monza will be looking to build on their first point of the season.
