Lecce and Pisa Battle for Survival as Serie A Drama Unfolds

LECCE, ITALY – This Friday evening, Stadio Via del Mare go be the battleground as Lecce and Pisa go fight for survival in Serie A. As dem dey press for dem fourth straight season in Italy’s top flight, Lecce dey lead with three points but no be say dem dey ginger too much, after dem both fall for their last match.

Last week, Lecce gather some vibes as dem beat Torino, but their happiness no last long as dem fall flat last Sunday against Cremonese, who serve them two goals after half time. Only one shot on target? Abeg, no be football be that o! (I no wan talk am, but wetin dem dey do?)

Now, dem dey hang for 17th position, just above the relegation zone, and if dem no find something to do quick, water go pass garri. Lecce go need make dem home advantage count this December, especially as dem dey see promoted Pisa and high-flying Como come pepper dem.

Meanwhile, Pisa dey waka for 18th position, no be play far from dem zone too. Just like Lecce, dem get their own wahala as dem lose recently to Parma because of a handball wey no good. VAR don catch dem, and M'Bala Nzola even miss chance wey fine before he go collect red card. This Friday, dem go play without their top scorer, Nzola, and you fit imagine how dem go manage to score against Lecce wey dey fight tooth and nail.

Lecce no dey enjoy the best of form; their strikers dey look for net like dem dey search for lost gold. The midfield, led by Ylber Ramadani and the creator Berisha, go have to rise up to the occasion. I mean, dem dey involved in most of the goals lately, but if the attackers no come carry their own load, this one fit be ‘0-0’ drama wey go sweet pass palm-wine.

As the world dey watch, the last time dem cross path for Serie A na 34 years and 312 days ago! And the match end for 1-1. E no be say dem dey shake as dey face each other again jare. Pisa don collect 10 points so far, and their last match no dey encouraging as dem fall for Parma. Talk say dem dey form, no be joke.

As both teams dey jostle for points, this matchup go surely serve us one kind gritty football, wey we dey suspect fit end in low scoring draw. Seriously, if we no see three goals, we fit ask ‘dem come play football or wetin?’

So, if you dey plan to check the match out, make e clear say two desperate teams dey try hold their ground for this Serie A season. Who go survive? It go show for pitch!
