Pre Match

Napoli are unbeaten in their last four league games against Lecce (W2 D2) and have not conceded a goal in their two most recent meetings; the Partenopei have never kept three clean sheets in a row against the Giallorossi in Serie A.

Lecce are unbeaten in their last three away games against Napoli in the league (W1 D2) and only against Fiorentina (4 between 2009 and 2019) and Brescia (5 between 2000 and 2011) have the Giallorossi avoided defeat in more consecutive away games against a single opponent in Serie A.

Napoli have won 19 points after eight games in Serie A this season (W6 D1 L1) and only three times in the three points for a win era have they won more at this stage of a top-flight campaign: 2017/18 and 2021/22 (24 pts) and in 2022/23 (20 pts).

Napoli have kept a clean sheet in four of their last five Serie A games (W4 D1), with an aggregate score of 10-1 in those matches; since the beginning of September, the Partenopei have conceded just one goal in Serie A (level with Juventus) with only Leipzig (0) conceding fewer in the big five European leagues in that period.

Lecce are the team that have scored the fewest goals in the big five European leagues in 2024/25 (2) whilst with 18 goals conceded – a third of which came last time out against Fiorentina – only Montpellier (-18) have a worse goal difference than the Giallorossi (-15).
