Monza and Lecce battle for three points in a Serie A matchday four fixture on Sunday (September 17).
The hosts are coming off a 3-0 thrashing at Atalanta before the international break. Ederson opened the scoring in the 35th minute before Gianluca Scamacca added a brace to complete the rout.
Lecce, meanwhile, claimed maximum points in a 2-0 home win over Salernitana in their previous outing. Nikola Krstovic and Gabriel Strefezza scored in either half to guide I Giallorossi to all three points.
The win saw the Apulians climb to fourth spot in the points table, having garnered seven points from three games. Monza, meanwhile, are 15th with three points from as many games.

Monza vs Lecce Prediction
Lecce have been one of the surprise packages of the new Serie A campaign and are unbeaten after three games. Their quick start has put them in the continental spots, but manager Roberto D'Aversa insists that his side's focus remains avoiding the drop.
Monza, meanwhile, have won one and lost two of their three games, with their sole win this term coming in front of their fans. Games between the two sides are typically cagey, tight affairs, and the trend could continue.
Although either side could nick a win, expect the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.
