&lt;p&gt;It’s a six-pointer at the Via del Mare, where Lecce face Verona. After defeats to Udinese and Napoli, the Salentini earned a crucial victory in Florence last week that allowed them to move away from the drop zone, and they’ll want to keep that momentum going. Sitting four points behind them are Verona, who come into the game after a last-gasp defeat to Inter – their second loss in a row following the setback against Como. The Gialloblù are desperate to secure their first win of the campaign and start climbing the table.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There have been 24 official meetings between the two sides in Salento: 12 giallorossi wins (latest 1-0 in last year`s Serie A), 5 draws (latest 1-1 in Serie B 2002/03) and 7 Veneto victories (latest 1-0 in Serie A 2023/24).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The last 4 clashes in Lecce between the two teams have all ended 1-0: one victory for the giallorossi, 3 for the gialloblù.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lecce`s very first Serie A match, dated 8 September 1985, was against Verona, fresh from winning their first scudetto the previous season. The final score was 2-2 at the Bentegodi with goals from Elkjaer Larsen and Di Gennaro for the hosts, Nobile and Paciocco for the Salento side.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lecce still without home wins in this Serie A 2025/26: the giallorossi`s last victory dates back to 18 May, 1-0 over Torino.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;COACHES and PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Between Eusebio Di Francesco and Paolo Zanetti, third official meeting as coaches.
