Lecce - Sassuolo predictions

Lecce have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Sassuolo. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

The visiting team knows that beating Lecce on their own turf will be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

Both Lecce fans and punters will have been rather delighted by their last Serie A match. Their Parma win was a bettor’s dream, knowing it was an odds-defying HT/FT victory.

Sassuolo are coming on the back of a surprisingly strong performance in the last round’s away game against Hellas Verona. Despite a home-field disadvantage and overwhelmingly unfavourable odds, they managed to walk away with a narrow victory after a second-half decider that went against most Serie A betting predictions.

We’ve seen a string of concessions from Lecce on their home turf – specifically, 6 over the last 3 matches. Online bookmakers are not giving them great chances of getting out of this one with a clean sheet.

Considering the odds on a home win, Lecce might be on their way into the relegation zone. They’re currently 2 points above it. Thankfully, it’s too early in the season for the table positions to be set in stone.

Should they manage to earn 3 more points, the visitors will claw their way to a Europa League qualifying spot. They still have a lot of time to do so, but a team like Lecce stands a decent chance to win this Saturday.

Sassuolo recorded a decisive victory over Lecce in the previous season. Although these results are somewhat outdated at this point, the 2+ goal lead at the end of the match is enough for the bookies to price an away win this Saturday at 2.63.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2.20, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
