Sassuolo - Lecce predictions

With 2.34 on home win, the ground is level and three points are everyone’s to take. However, we’d still recommend backing Sassuolo who should end up victorious in the end against Lecce.

Lecce are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 3.27 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

The hosts are keen on making a quick bounce following a last round’s slip-up. Sassuolo were leading at halftime in a game they hadn’t been exactly made favourites to win in the first place (4.90) but failed to hold onto it until the end. It would have been a huge boost for the Sunday game but even the Milan is something they should not take lightly.

Lecce went into their previous match against Empoli with a slight edge in form and home-field advantage, resulting in a comfortable and somewhat predictable 1:0 home win.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

The away team are on a worrying trend of uneventful matches. Their previous two games at home both confirmed the Under 5 Goals market. They’re not likely to play more aggressively when they’re away either.

Sassuolo may be the favourites in this matchup, but they’ve yet to prove they can conclusively defeat Lecce this season. They had several opportunities to do so, and all ended with a tied result.

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Sunday. Domenico Berardi, Jeremy Toljan, Marcus Pedersen, Samu Castillejo will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.91. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
