Lecce will invite Inter Milan to the Stadio Via del Mare in Serie A on Sunday. The hosts have won five of their 21 league games thus far and are in 17th place in the league table with 20 points. Inter have 47 points from 20 games, three fewer than league leaders Napoli, though they have a game in hand.

The visitors are unbeaten in their last four games, recording three wins. They defeated Empoli 3-1 at home in Serie A last week thanks to second-half goals from Lautaro Martínez, Denzel Dumfries, and Marcus Thuram.

The Nerazzurri have lost just one of their last 10 games in all competitions while recording eight wins. They have won nine of their last 10 away games while keeping eight clean sheets and are strong favorites.
Francesco Acerbi, Raffaele Di Gennaro, and Joquin Correa will miss this match due to injuries. Hakan Çalhanoglu is back in training but is unlikely to be risked here. Yann Bisseck is back for the trip to Apulia and will likely start from the bench.
