Marco Giampaolo collected three more golden points for his Lecce side by winning last Friday’s direct clash against Parma. Although the Giallorossi remain the team with the ugliest goal difference (-23) with the worst offense (18 goals) and the second worst defense (41 goals conceded behind Verona and Parma), the contribution of Giampaolo, back in A after a season and a half, has fired up the team’s engine.
In the first 11 games of this championship, Lecce earned eight points (2V, 2N, 7P), with no team having done worse in the period, while in the next 12 the Giallorossi’s points were 15: the difference of seven between the two periods was the second widest in Serie A, after Genoa’s +8 “taken care of” by Patrick Vieira, Gilardino’s successor.
Sunday’s opponent, fresh out of the Champions League, is aiming for an immediate return to Europe. Bologna has drawn three of its last four league away matches (1V), as many draws as in the previous 11 (5V, 3P); notably, the Rossoblù collected two outside draws in a row for the first time in a run of five with Thiago Motta on the bench between August and October 2023.
The article Giampaolo has almost already doubled the points scored by Gotti comes from Calcio Lecce.
