Lecce host Monza at the Stadio Ettore Giardiniero in Serie A on Sunday as both sides aim to pick up their first win of the season.
With just two points in five games, the Giallorossi are down in 17th position of the league standings.
Marco Baroni's side began their campaign with back-to-back defeats followed by two draws, which signaled a turn in their fortunes.
However, their joy was short-lived after Torino beat them 1-0 last weekend.
Monza, meanwhile, are at the bottom of the Serie A table, having lost all their top-flight games so far in their league debut.

Lecce vs Monza Prediction
This is a game between two struggling teams but Lecce have the better chance, given their overall record in the season thus far.
Monza have been absolutely atrocious so far but they have never played in the top flight before.
Despite making a slew of promising signings, the Biancorossi have failed to deliver in their debut campaign and could succumb to another defeat here.
Prediction: Lecce 2-0 Monza
