Lecce, Recent FormLecce will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their away fixture against Atalanta. During that encounter they had 30% possession and had 3 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 10 of their 20 shots on goal.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. Marco Baroni will be concerned about his leaky defence after they have failed to keep a clean sheet at home for 11 games in a row. It's been rare for their fans not to have had something to shout about this season, with their team scoring in 10 out of 11 home games.
It's been a mixed run of form at Stadio Via del Mare for Lecce recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 home games. Their home form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 6 draws in 11 home league games.
Sassuolo, Recent FormWith Napoli sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Sassuolo won't feel totally dejected with their 2-0 home defeat by them last time out. In that game they had 40% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Napoli who had 15 attempts and 4 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Alessio Dionisi will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 9 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 4 of their last 6 matches on their travels. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Matheus Henrique has scored in each of Sassuolo's last league game away from home.
Lecce suffered the disappointment of a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Sassuolo the last time they met in the league.
In their previous 3 encounters with Sassuolo, Lecce have shipped at least one goal in those matches.
Sassuolo has won the last 2 games they've played against Lecce in the league.
Lecce manager Marco Baroni has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Kastriot Dermaku (Hamstring), Marin Pongračić (Ankle) and Samuel Umtiti (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Sassuolo manager Alessio Dionisi ahead of this clash, with Jeremy Toljan (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Dionisi a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
