Sassuolo vs Lecce Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 19/04/2024, 06:30  by Sridhar in Serie A Predictions

The relegation-threatened Sassuolo will look to move out of the bottom three as they host a relatively safe Lecce. The Stadio Città del Tricolore will host the Serie A matchday 33, with the hosts 19th with 26 points and the visitors 13th with 32 points. Sassuolo are only two points behind safety, and with two points separating teams from 15th to 19th, the fight for relegation is turning out to be very tight. The hosts missed a chance to get out of the relegation zone, dropping a 3-1 lead against AC Milan last time out to draw 3-3. That was their third stalemate in a row, and Sassuolo have lost eight of their last 13 league games, drawing four, and winning just once. The challenge is to maximize their home advantage, as Sassuolo have won five points from their last three home league games, winning one and drawing two.

Lecce are five points above the bottom-three and are set to spend another week above the relegation zone, irrespective of the result here. Yet, their recent form has improved, and they are likely to target winning points here. A 1-0 win over Empoli last time out meant they have won seven points across the last four league games. Three clean sheets in their last four league games suggest that Lecce have gotten their act together defensively. This has come up under new manager Luca Gotti, who will target more improvements. On his plate would be to improve their away form, which has been poor despite recent overall progress. Lecce have lost seven of their last nine away league games, winning only once in the process.
