A draw would be enough for the Biancocelesti to be certain of sixth place.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lazio have scored 22 goals in the last 15 minutes of play, more than any other team in this championship, while Lecce have scored five in the same period, only Empoli (three) have done worse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pedro, who scored a brace in the last league match against Inter, has reached double figures for goals in this championship, at the age of 37 years and 294 days, becoming the sixth oldest player to reach 10 goals in a single Serie A season, after Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Silvio Piola, Fabio Quagliarella, Pietro Ferraris and Luca Toni.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nikola Krstovic has scored a goal and provided an assist in his last two league games, after having had no goal involvements in the previous five; the Lecce striker is currently on 15 in total (11G+4A) and the last Giallorossi player to do better in a Serie A season was Marco Mancosu (16 in 2019/20).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: Marco Baroni (Lazio); Tete Morente (Lecce)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Rovella, Romagnoli (Lazio); Pierotti, Rafia, Ramadani (Lecce)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;FABBRI (CARBONE – PERETTI) IV: AYROLDI, VAR: MERAVIGLIA, AVAR: PICCININI&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;
