18+. BeGambleAware. orgMatch previewLazio will be aiming to keep up the pressure on the top four when they return to Serie A action with a trip to the Stadio Ettore Giardiniero where Lecce are merely aiming to move further away from the relegation zone. Lazio lost their last friendly game to Almeria in a 2-0 defeat, as they also managed to defeat Galatasaray 2-1 and Hatayspor 5-2. It means the club also failed to keep a clean sheet in their friendly games. Lazio are still in fourth in Serie A and sit behind AC Milan in second by just three points and behind Juventus in third by a point. On the other hand, they sit only above Inter Milan in fifth by goals difference.

Lazio have conceded just four times on their travels this season, while Lecce have mustered just 14 goals in 15 Serie A matches in the 2022/23 campaign.
