This match features two teams living in the basement of the Serie A, Lecce holding 16th place and Sassuolo lying 15th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
It's no vacation for neither Lecce nor Sassuolo as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Lecce form and stats
0-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Lecce, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Serie A, so far this season. The last three games played by Lecce, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.
The home team returns to Via del Mare after sharing the points with Sampdoria (placed 20th) on their last time out; the Serie A game ended 1-1. The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Juventus.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Lecce have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won 2 Drawn 2 Lost 1.
Lecce have scored 2 goals here in 4 league matches, a depressing statistic. Lecce have conceded 7 from these games.
