Venezia entertain Lecce at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo in Serie A on Monday. Both teams have endured a poor run in the league, with two wins apiece. Venezia are at the bottom of the standings, while Lecce are 18th with nine points, one more than the hosts.
Venezia have lost their two games this month. They suffered a narrow 1-0 loss at Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League before losing 2-1 at home to Parma in the league. Hans Nicolussi Caviglia broke the deadlock in the fifth minute, but Parma scored in either half for a comeback win.
Lecce, meanwhile, are also winless in two games this month. They drew 1-1 with Empoli at home in their previous outing, featuring a second-half strike from substitute Santiago Pierotti

After failing to score in five games between September and October, Lecce have scored in two of their last three games. They have failed to score in seven away Serie A games, losing four on the trot.
Kevin Bonifazi, Medon Berisha, Rares Burnete and Balthazar Pierret remain sidelined due to injuries for the visitors. Lameck Banda was injured while on international duty, so Ante Rebic is likely to start.
