Hoping to extend their stay at the top of the Serie A table on Tuesday evening, Napoli will travel to Apulia when they meet Lecce.
Claiming an immediate response over the weekend as they stormed their way to a sensational 3-1 victory against Inter Milan, the reigning Italian champions should be smelling a golden opportunity when they travel to the Stadio Via del mare.
Although the Giallorossi might have eventually clung to their top-flight status last season, Lecce have another major uphill battle on their hands this time around and Tuesday’s hosts will be bracing themselves for a stern examination here.
Two camps who already find themselves scrapping it out at opposite ends of the Serie A standings, we have taken a look at some of the most attractive Lecce vs Napoli Bet Builder Tips.
A golden opportunity for Conte’s camp
Coming under serious scrutiny last week as they slumped to an infamous 6-2 Champions League defeat away at Dutch giants PSV, Napoli returned to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona with a huge amount of pressure on their shoulders.
However, despite showing some initial struggles when returning from October’s international break, Antonio Conte’s men came roaring back in some style over the weekend.
Putting in a dominant performance in Naples as they cruised their way to a thumping 3-1 victory against historic rivals Inter Milan, Tuesday’s hosts will be dreaming of a repeat display here.
Opening the midweek fixtures leading the chase at the top of the Serie A standings, Conte’s defending Italian champions will be desperate to widen their buffer over the chasing pack in Apulia.
It should also be highlighted, the former Tottenham boss saw his squad secure a 1-0 win when they last travelled to the Stadio Via del mare back on May 3rd.

McTominay goes from strength to strength
While there might have been plenty of raised eyebrows across Europe last summer as Scott McTominay completed a stunning £27.5million move to Naples, the former Manchester United star has enjoyed an historic start to life in Italy.
Spearheading Napoli’s historic title charge last season, the Scotland international has already cemented his spot as a modern era icon at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
Clinching a stunning 18th-place finish at last month’s Ballon d’Or ceremony, McTominay has once again continued to shine this season.
Finding the net against Inter Milan with a wonderful strike, the 28-year-old also recorded a pair of consolation Champions League strikes away at PSV last week.
Likewise, getting on the scoresheet for Scotland during their 2-1 win against Belarus earlier in the month, McTominay has now registered four goals in his last three appearances for club and country.

Another long night for Lecce
Although Lecce might have produced a stunning great escape last season as they managed to keep hold of their Serie A status, the Salentians have another real battle on their hands this time around.
Last seen over the weekend falling to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Udinese, Tuesday’s hosts have put just six points on the board and they are regarded as a standout relegation candidate.
Mustering just a single win from any of their first nine showdowns against top-flight opposition, Eusebio Di Francesco’s side will be bracing themselves for another monumental challenge here.
Watching their Coppa Italia adventure come to a routine end on September 23rd as they fell to a 3-0 drumming against AC Milan, Lecce have also gained a reputation for their extended issues on home soil.
In fact, the one-time Roma boss has remarkably seen his squad muster just a sole Serie A clean sheet in front of their own supporters so far this calendar year.
