Sassuolo revealed their impressive attacking prowess in a big 3-3 draw to AC Milan last Sunday. Armand Lauriente was especially inspired with a brace on the occasion. It was the third successive draw for the Neroverdi. They need to turn these results into wins, though. Davide Ballardini’s men are still second from bottom in the league table. They are two points below Empoli in the safe zone.

Lecce have just picked up a huge 1-0 win over Empoli in the previous round. Substitute Nicola Sansone bagged the late winner in the 89th minute of the affair. Head coach Luca Gotti can generally be satisfied with the performance his men have put up on the occasion. Lecce completely dominated the pitch from the first to the final minute of the contest at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare.

Sassuolo vs Lecce Prediction

Both Sassuolo and Lecce looked quite impressive offensively of late and we have plenty of reasons to expect goals when they come across each other. The Neroverdi scored five goals in the last two league games. However, the problems appear at the back. They’ve also shipped five goals in the last two Serie A affairs. They conceded numerous chances in the last weekend’s 3-3 draw to AC Milan.

The Rossoneri accumulated an xG of over 3.00 in Reggio nell’Emilia. Lecce also created plenty of clear-cut chances in their win over Empoli eight days ago. They certainly have the capacity to exploit Sassuolo’s leaky back line. Both Teams To Score has to be the way to go here and you can back this scenario at the 1.75 odds.

We also like the home win pick at the 2.30 odds. Sassuolo looked great offensively seven days ago against the likes of AC Milan. Also, Lecce have generally played much better football at home than on the road so far in the season. Only one of their seven league wins has come away from home in this term of Serie A. Lastly, Sassuolo have tradition to back them up with three wins and four draws in seven clashes against Lecce.
