US Lecce vs AC Monza

Lecce host Monza at the Via del Mare on 13 September in a clash between two sides who need points early. Lecce sit 12th, Monza 17th, and both know a shaky start can spiral if it isn't corrected soon. Lecce, managed by Eusebio Di Francesco, have three points from two games but were routed 0-4 at Roma last time out, with Olaf Gorter their only scorer. Monza, back up after winning last season's Serie B play-offs, are still searching for their first point after defeats to Inter and Udinese, with a defence that's leaked goals. Patrick Cutrone leads their attack, alongside Andrea Colpani and impressive new signing Ebenezer Akinsanmiro. Lecce have won six of the sides' sixteen previous meetings to Monza's two, and their last encounter finished 0-0. Our prediction: 2-1
