Lecce have won 12 of their 27 in total here at their familiar ground. Will they win more points against Sassuolo?

Insights:
  • Lecce have the fewest clean sheets (0) at home in Serie A
  • Sassuolo have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Sassuolo have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Lecce and Sassuolo should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Lecce form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie A, Lecce have managed 2 wins, 6 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 11 games.

A strong away win for Lecce against Atalanta the last match, as Ceesay and Blin were on target. Lecce goalkeeper Falcone did an outstanding job against Atalanta with nine saves, so vital to securing the victory.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Roma.

The Lecce fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 11 matches. Lecce have conceded 14 in these home matches.

Sassuolo form and stats

There's been little loot from Sassuolo's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 12 away games in the Serie A. Sassuolo only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 4 draws.

The manager Dionisi was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue MAPEI Stadium - Città del Tricolore. Sassuolo suffered a 0-2 loss to Napoli (placed 1st). That defeat was their first after four consecutive league matches winning points. Midfielder Henrique was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.02. Henrique hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 21 successful passes (of 23 total).

Preceding that game, the 2-2 draw paying a visit to Udinese.

Sassuolo have scored 13 goals on their travels this season, from 12 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Sassuolo's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 22 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Sassuolo have managed a streak of 4 consecutive matches without defeat (2-2-0) when playing Lecce.

Sassuolo - Lecce 1-0 was the end result in these squads' last head-to-head fixture, played this season.
