Lecce and Monza will still be in search of their first Serie A wins when they lock horns at the Via del Mare on Sunday.
Both sides are newly-promoted to the Serie A this season, with Lecce earning a promotion after winning the Serie B title while Monza earned their promotion to top flight through the play-off campaign.
However, both sides have found life difficult in the top flight with Monza yet to pick up a point, while Lecce have only managed to claim two points from the opening five games. With neither side able to win a game so far this season, it is difficult to pick a favorite ahead of this tie, and a solid draw is likely to be the most predictable option in this game.
However, Lecce claimed a double over Monza in Serie B last season and they will hope to do the same here in the top flight.
