Venue: MAPEI Stadium - Città del Tricolore (21584 seats)

With their 12 point advantage in the league table, Sassuolo fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Lecce.

It's no vacation for neither Sassuolo nor Lecce 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.

These teams have little in common geographically as Lecce have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Sassuolo form and stats

Overall Serie A stats at home this season for Sassuolo are 6-2-6 (wins-draw-losses).

Sassuolo enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Fiorentina's place. The match ended 3-1 with Mert Müldür and Grégoire Defrel (2) scoring. In the match before that, Sassuolo hosted Hellas Verona and drew the game 3-3.

The manager R. De Zerbi will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Bologna in only four days.

Lecce form and stats

There's been little loot from Lecce's travels as they have only collected 14 points from 14 away games in the Serie A. Lecce, who have the most conceded goals (66) in Serie A, only have 4 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 2 draws. With the Lecce losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Lecce seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Lecce might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Sampdoria proved too strong as Lecce slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare. Prior to that match, the Lecce manager F. Liverani faced defeat when travelling to Juventus and losing 0-4.

After this away game Lecce return home for a Serie A game against Lazio. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Lecce find the net regularly in their away games. 15 goals from 14 away fixtures in the league. The Lecce manager F. Liverani has some worries about the defense as 34 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Lecce - Sassuolo 2-2 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): Sassuolo zero wins, two draws and Lecce zero victories. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.
