Sassuolo form and stats

The season before, Sassuolo's league statistics were 13 wins, 11 draws and 14 losses, producing 11th place in the Serie A. During these 38 matches they scored 64 goals and let in 66. Performing as the home team in the former season Sassuolo generated 6-6-7 (win-draw-lost) with 27 goals and 30 conceded.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 190 minutes without scoring a league goal. Scamacca was the last player to find the net.

In their previous game, the manager Dionisi led his Sassuolo to a defeat away at Juventus. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at MAPEI Stadium - Città del Tricolore. The attacker Berardi was announced as "man of the match" for Sassuolo with the rating of 7.83/10. Berardi hit four key passes and had 30 successful passes (of 36 total).

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Sassuolo's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 8 games, won 3 matches, drawn 2 and lost 3.

Lecce form and stats

Let's have a look at how Lecce performed last season in the Serie B: They landed a 1st position in the league table after playing out 19 victories, 14 draws and 5 defeats. In total they scored 59 and conceded 31 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 9 and lost 4 with 22/17 goals scored/conceded.

This game can not go any worse than the previous one, the home defeat versus Inter with 1-2 on the scoreboard. It is not a good sign for Lecce that their goalkeeper Falcone managed seven saves in the Inter fixture, but still could not rescue them from a beating.
