Lecce

Before the start of the season, Lecce was considered one of the main contenders for relegation, but Marco Baroni’s team desperately clung to points at the start of the championship and did not allow themselves to fall into the relegation zone. Thanks to fantastic dedication and organization, the “yellow-reds” have earned quite a decent gap from the relegation zone by the end of the first round, which is still eight points. Such a handicap allows you to feel safe and leaves the right to make mistakes, of which quite a few have been made lately. Having dealt with Lazio (2:1) in the first match after the winter break, Lecce failed to beat a direct competitor in the person of Spezia (0:0), then painted a 2:2 draw with Milan. However, in the away match with Verona, the Yellow-Reds unexpectedly stumbled and lost 0:2, failing to rise above the 14th line in the table.

Salernitana

Salernitana started the season quite decently, gave out some bright matches and took points quite often. It is obvious that the management expects to gain a foothold in the elite and prevent the scenario according to which last season the seahorses almost ended up in Serie B, giving out a valid ending. However, it was not without problems. For the match of the 18th round with Atalanta, Salernitana went out with a series of five matches without a win and was defeated 2:8 in Bergamo. This result forced the leadership to fire Davide Nicola, but a day later the mentor was returned, apparently allowing him to rectify the situation. However, in the home match with Napoli, the “seahorses” again lost 0:2, but did not look hopeless and had every chance to at least reduce the difference in the score.
