It was the last day of January when Nikola Krstović scored in a win over Parma at the "Tardini" - it was impossible to imagine then that Lecce would not beat anyone in Serie A for the next two and a half months.

In such a negative series, it is realistic that the fight for survival is becoming increasingly difficult for the team from southern Italy.

Lecce lost to Como at the "Via del Mare" stadium 3:0, which is their 10th match in a row without a win (seventh loss), so after the 33rd round is completed, they could find themselves in the relegation zone.

Krstović scored a goal at 0:0 which was disallowed for offside, and then the team led by Cesc Fabregas struggled - the triumph was brought to them by double goals from Asane Diao and Edoardo Goldaniga.

The Montenegrin striker received a yellow card in stoppage time of the first half, which will cause him to miss the next match in which Lecce plays host to Atalanta.

Lecce has 26 points, two more than Empoli and Venezia, who are below the line and who play each other on Sunday.
