Lazio vs. Lecce Analysis
Lazio sits third in the Serie A standings at present. However, after collecting just three points from the last nine on offer, the chasing pack has closed the gap.
Lazio is one of the best soccer teams in Italy, and a top-four finish was the priority before a ball was kicked. However, Serie A is among the toughest soccer leagues in Europe, and sealing a Champions League spot is no mean feat.
Lazio is currently three points above fifth-place Milan. Things are very tight from second to fifth, with only five points separating four clubs. The race for Europe could go to the wire.

Lecce is also eager for points in their battle for Serie A survival. The Yellow and Reds have been on a miserable run of form of late, suffering nine losses from their last 11 Serie A games.
Lecce recently picked up a vital 1-0 victory over Udinese, which was their first win in nine. Unfortunately, they have lost the next two against Juventus and Verona.
