Lecce vs Pisa — Tactical Analysis
Lecce
At the Via del Mare, Lecce rely on the width provided by Gallo and Dorgu. Without Marchwinski, the creative burden falls on Remi Oudin to unlock defenses. They will likely press Pisa’s back three aggressively, knowing the visitors are missing their key outlet (Nzola) and playmaker (Stengs).
Pisa
Filippo Inzaghi’s side is in trouble. The suspension of M’Bala Nzola removes their main physical presence up top, meaning Alexander Lind must step up. Without Calvin Stengs, Pisa lacks creativity between the lines. They will likely sit deep in a 5-4-1 defensive block and try to nick a goal through Tramoni on the counter-attack, but their inability to score (0 goals in last 2 games) is a massive worry.
Lecce vs Pisa — Key Battles
- Baschirotto vs Lind — physical dominance in the box
- Ramadani vs Marin — midfield grit and control
- Gallo vs Esteves — battle of the wing-backs
- Krstovic vs Caracciolo — Lecce’s striker needs to break the deadlock
Lecce vs Pisa — Spotlight Players
Lecce — Nikola Krstovic
The Montenegrin striker works tirelessly but has lacked service recently. Against a fellow relegation struggler, this is the perfect opportunity for him to be the hero and secure three massive points.
Pisa — Matteo Tramoni
With Stengs out, Tramoni is the only spark left in Pisa’s attack. His dribbling and ability to cut inside are the only real threats Lecce need to worry about.
Lecce vs Pisa — Prediction
Lecce 1–0 Pisa
Pisa are decimated by absences. Missing both their best scorer (Nzola) and best creator (Stengs) makes it hard to see where the goals will come from. Lecce are strong at home and should have just enough quality to edge a tight, nervous affair.
