Florence of the South gears up to host Italian champions.
The Stadio Ettore Giardiniero in Lecce is gearing up to host the Matchweek 9 fixture of the Serie A, where Lecce will lock horns against Napoli.
Lecce are just two points above the relegation zone and are placed 17th, at the time of writing, in the Serie A points table. They are led by Eusebio Di Francesco, who has previously been at the managerial helm of teams like AS Roma, Hellas Verona and Pescara. He returned to Lecce for his second stint and will be looking forward to turning around their fortunes.
Napoli, the reigning Italian champions, are at the summit of the Italian top flight. After Antonio Conte took over, they have been in sublime form since last season. Conte has previously won the Serie A with two different teams and is one of the most revered coaches in Italian and European football overall.
