Potential match-winners
- Lautaro Martinez (Inter): 14 goals in 25 games, 38.55% shot accuracy, 141 touches inside the opposition box. Inter’s talisman leads the line and is heavily involved in their attacking play.
- Riccardo Sottil (Lecce): One of Lecce’s more creative threats with 23 chances created. But he faces a stern test against Inter’s mean defence.
Inter’s squad depth and technical quality across the pitch, highlighted by high pass accuracy (87.24%) and 60.08% average possession, make them well-placed to unlock Lecce’s back line. Lecce, meanwhile, will rely on counter attacks and set-pieces.
