NAME: Inter – Lecce
DATE: 5 Mar 2023
TIME: 17:00 UTC
VENUE: San Siro/Giuseppe Meazza, Milan, Italy
Following their latest defeat of a frustrating Serie A season, Inter Milan aim to put things right at the first available opportunity, as they welcome Lecce to San Siro on Sunday.
Beaten by Bologna last time out, Inter’s deficit to distant league leaders Napoli grew further, and their main concern now is cementing a top-four finish. Their visitors, meanwhile, lost their first game in four but remain on course to achieve their objective of survival.
The Nerazzurri have now lost seven of their first 24 Serie A matches for the first time since the 2016-17 season – when they went on to finish seventh – after a drab display in last Sunday’s loss to Bologna.
While an off-field battle rages with city rivals Milan about the clubs’ future away from the iconic San Siro, they entered the weekend level on points with the Scudetto-holders – both far adrift of champions-elect Napoli.
There remains plenty to play for, though, as Simone Inzaghi’s side must complete a half-done job against Porto if they are to reach the Champions League quarter-finals, with a two-legged Coppa semi versus old foes Juventus lying further around the corner.
Home form will surely play its part if Inter are to lift more silverware this season – having already secured the Supercoppa Italiana – as not only did they become the first team to topple Napoli in the league at San Siro, but just two clubs have conceded fewer goals at home throughout Europe’s top five leagues.
All of which makes them strong favourites to resume winning ways on Sunday evening, as they have lost only one of their last 13 Serie A matches against Lecce, and none since 2012.
Also beaten 2-1 at home in August’s reverse fixture, Lecce have lost each of their last eight league meetings with Inter in Milan, conceding an average of 2.5 goals per game.
Marco Baroni’s men have fared far better on the road in recent weeks, though, as after victories at Cremonese and Atalanta, Lecce can now win three away games in a row for just the second time in their top-flight history.
