Team News
For their home clash against Lecce, Fabio Pisacane looks set to stick with his 4-3-2-1 system.
Caprile is a fixture between the posts, while the defensive line will feature Ze Pedro, Deiola, Rodriguez, and Obert, with Yerry Mina ruled out due to a calf issue.
The midfield trio remains unchanged with Adopo, Winks, and Romano—one of the brightest sparks of the early season.
Up front, Fazzini and Daniel Maldini will operate behind lone striker Mendy, who is once again favored over Kevin Carlos.
Idrissi and Trepy remain sidelined, with the latter still recovering following a pool accident a few weeks ago.
Eusebio Di Francesco will counter with his signature 4-3-3 formation, anchored by Falcone in goal.
The back four consists of Veiga, Tiago Gabriel, Gaspar, and Gallo.
In midfield, summer signing Ivan Ilić is inline for his first start of the campaign, joining Coulibaly and Ngom in the central trio.
In attack, Stulic replaces the injured Geubbels as the central striker, flanked by Pierotti and N'dri, the latter in a selection duel with Monteiro for a spot on the wing.
Berisha returns to the squad and will start on the bench.
