Lecce vs Sassuolo Prediction: Will Lecce be able to extend their winning streak?

Lecce hasn't lost in three rounds in a row, including losing to Roma and Atalanta. Now the Giallorossi will face Sassuolo, another team that has made a strong run lately. Will Lecce be able to extend their winning streak?

Lecce

The team shows very aggressive football, which brings results. However, Lecce mostly unsurprisingly plays against strong opponents and often loses to weaker opponents. So in 2023, the Giallorossi lost to Verona and Salernitana and failed to beat La Spezia. Still, they took away league points from Roma and AC Milan and beat Lazio and Atalanta. It is obvious that Lecce still lacks flexibility, the ability to adjust to a particular opponent, to play first number one on their own. Considering the team played in Serie B last season, it is quite natural.

Sassuolo

In the previous matchday, the Neroverdi lost to Napoli (0:2). Almost everyone has lost to Napoli this season, both in the league and Champions League. Before that, Sassuolo had a perfect four-match unbeaten streak. At this stage, Alessio Dionisi's team took away points from strong Monza and Udinese, beat Atalanta, and, most importantly, beat AC Milan 5:2 at the San Siro. In general, at the beginning of the second half of the season, Sassuolo finally began to reveal their potential, and the team may very soon rise above the 15th place.

Expert Betting Tips

Sassuolo was unlucky in many ways in their previous match against Napoli. For example, at the end of the first half, the goal of the Neroverdi forward Armand Laurienté was canceled due to a very controversial offside. On the other hand, Lecce was not without luck in the previous round against Atalanta, where the Bergamas certainly deserved at least a draw and hardly deserved two conceded goals. Sassuolo will likely score and not lose, while Lecce will not take its chances and lose points. Moreover, the statistics of head-to-head encounters favor Sassuolo, who has never lost to Lecce in the last five matches and won 1:0 in the first round of the current championship.
