A quick peek at the odds suggests anything but a win for Sassuolo will come as a surprise when they take on Lecce at Stadio Mapei - Citta del Tricolore on Saturday in the Serie A. The last time Sassuolo faced off against Lecce, Sassuolo claimed a 4-2 win at Stadio Mapei - Citta del Tricolore.
Sassuolo came away from their premiere match of the season with nothing to show for it, and no doubt aim to rectify themselves. Lecce endured a disappointing opening game in the new Serie A season which left them stunned without points.
Sassuolo took down Lecce in their most recent meeting, and bookmakers deem another win for the home side a likely scenario this coming Saturday.
Sassuolo are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They claimed a steady 13 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.3 goals per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents 21 goals, or an average of 2.1 goals a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to zero clean sheets in this run.
Lecce travel to their next away match on Saturday having performed a tolerable average of 1.7 goals in ten matches. They scored a total of 17 goals, whilst shipping 21 goals against. An average of 2.1 goals against a game. They hung on to one clean sheet in this streak.
Sassuolo vs Lecce Prediction
Sassuolo endured a tough spell in their previous three matches, which brought three defeats. They lost 0-3 against AC Milan, before Modena won 3-2, while Juventus claimed all three points in a 3-0 win. Sassuolo claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Serie A. They also drew one and lost two, as they scored ten and conceded nine goals.
Sassuolo were comfortably placed in the middle of the table last season and more of the same is expected from them when entering a new campaign.
Lecce have been inconsistent in their last three matches, which brought home four points. They claimed a 1-0 win against Pordenone Calcio, before drawing 1-1 with Cittadella. This little streak came to an end, when Inter proved too strong in a 1-2 defeat for Lecce. Lecce managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Serie A. On top of winning once they also drew one as well as losing four, while scoring 14 time and letting in seven.
The target for Lecce this season has to be staying above the relegation zone in order to stay in the Serie A.
They usually throw caution to the wind, when clashing with each other, and with both Sassuolo and Lecce scoring freely over the past weeks, we expect a highly entertaining match.
