Lecce vs Sassuolo Prediction

Lecce ruined a perfect home record on Saturday when they suffered a tough 0-4 defeat at the hands of defending champions Napoli.

It was the second straight league loss for Roberto D’Aversa’s troops who had earlier fallen 0-1 away at Juventus.

Lecce are now looking at a somewhat easier fixture before the international break as they play host to Sassuolo on Friday evening in Gameweek No 8.

Sassuolo have been playing hot and cold since the start of the season. They took huge Juventus and Inter Milan scalps before dropping the ball in the home fixture against Monza on Monday night.

I Neroverdi created numerous chances but just failed to convert on the occasion. They now have three wins and four defeats in seven league games.

Since Lecce have been fairly tough to break down in recent outings if we ignore the last weekend’s clash against Napoli, we might see the visitors struggling to convert up front at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare as well.

Four of the last five games Lecce played in the league ended with fewer than three goals scored which is why we lean towards the Under pick here.

Latest Meetings

Lecce will play against tradition here because they are winless in six straight meetings with Sassuolo, three of which they’ve lost.

Sassuolo have earned the domestic double on Lecce in the previous term of Serie A, beating the rivals both home and away without conceding a goal in the process.

Only two of the last six outings between these teams saw three or more goals scored.

The Verdict

We are very much tempted by the 2.05 odds offered for the Under 2.5 goals FT pick here. Lecce have been playing tight, defensive-minded football lately under D’Aversa while Sassuolo failed to find the net in a home loss to Monza four days ago.

Those who fancy correct score punts can chase the 1-1 stalemate at the 7.00 odds while the regular draw is paid at the 3.50 odds.
