Fabio Pecchia's side played some interesting and colorful football against Milan at the San Siro last time but failed to take any points. The Parmesans were leading at 90+2 thanks to goals from Matteo Cancellieri and Enrico Del Prato. In the end, however, Parma missed out on victory and conceded twice in the second half to go down 2-3.
With 20 points, Parma is on the edge of the relegation zone. The bottom three, Lecce, hold the same number of points. Parma has also confirmed its status as one of the weakest defenses in the league, conceding 39 goals in 22 games. Only Lecce and Verona have conceded more.
Lecce
Marco Giampaolo's side also faced a big side at home to Inter last time. Unlike in Parma's match at the San Siro, there was no fight this time. The Giallorossi conceded two unanswered goals in the first half and then allowed the reigning Italian champions to score twice more in the second half—4-0.
This is Lecce's second consecutive defeat. A round earlier, they lost 4-1 away to Cagliari. Marco Giampaolo's appointment as head coach has yet to have a positive effect, and Lecce is once again approaching the relegation zone in the 23rd round of the championship.
