Stadio Ettore Giardiniero - Via del Mare, Lecce, ITA

Lameck Banda - Two shots in draw Banda registered two shots (two on goal) and four crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Verona.

Impact Banda was the outlet on the left, repeatedly running at Verona and drawing three fouls as Lecce chased a winner. He produced two of Lecce's six efforts on target and forced Lorenzo Montipo into his best first-half stop. His dribbling stretched Verona but the final cross never found a finish. That said, Banda looked like one of the best players on the field and confirmed his growing role for Lecce since starting the last three games on the left wing.

Medon Berisha - Brillant outing despite draw Berisha had three shots (one on goal), eight crosses (two accurate) and seven corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Verona.

Impact Berisha operated as Lecce's central connector in a match they dominated but couldn't finish. He found pockets between Verona's lines and helped switch play to Lameck Banda and the overlapping fullback. Berisha was especially valuable on set pieces, contributing to three shots, two chances created, eight crosses and a season high seven corners.

Wladimiro Falcone - Secures clean sheet Falcone made two saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Verona.

Impact Falcone faced only two shots on target and saved both as Lecce controlled most of the match. He was sharp on Verona's rare break just after halftime and confidently claimed a late high ball to stop the final attack. The clean sheet was his fifth of the season in 11 appearances, and the goalkeeper will aim for a sixth against Lazio after the international break.

Roberto Gagliardini - Solid in midfield Gagliardini registered three tackles (three won), two clearances and two interceptions in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Lecce.

Impact Gagliardini sat deep and broke up Lecce's build-up as they controlled nearly 60 percent of possession. The midfielder was solid in the defensive midfield, contributing three tackles, all won, which marked a season high for him, along with two interceptions and two clearances. On the ball, he maintained Verona's tempo to manage the draw.

Rafik Belghali - Two shots in draw Belghali recorded two shots (one on goal), two crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Lecce.

Impact Belghali started on the right flank and helped limit Lecce's wide attacks, especially against Lameck Banda's pace. He contributed two shots, two tackles and one interception while staying compact in Verona's low block, conceding only one dangerous cross from his lane. Going forward he kept it simple, offering support with two accurate crosses rather than overlapping.

Lorenzo Montipo - Keeps clean sheet in draw Montipo recorded six saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Lecce.

Impact Montipo kept Verona in the game with six saves as the visitors held Lecce to a 0-0 draw. He reacted sharply to deny Lameck Banda in a one-on-one during the first half and punched away two dangerous late crosses when Lecce pushed for a winner. This clean sheet was his third in Serie A this season, and he will look to earn a fourth after the break against Parma at home.
