Lecce, Recent FormLecce manager Roberto D'Aversa will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 4-0 home defeat by Napoli. They came away from that fixture with 44% of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Napoli managed 15 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
When it comes to attacking power D'Aversa will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped.
It's been a mixed run of form for Lecce recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Nikola Krstović will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Lecce's last 6 league games.
Sassuolo, Recent FormThe Sassuolo players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Monza recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 43%, while racking up 19 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Monza had 13 shots on goal with 4 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Alessio Dionisi will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 11 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 11 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 15 games overall.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Sassuolo, Domenico Berardi will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 0-1 win for Sassuolo.
Sassuolo have scored in each of their last 4 league meetings with Lecce. During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league, Lecce have been unable to break through Sassuolo's defence and find the back of the net.
Lecce have lost the last 3 times they've faced Sassuolo in the league and have failed to win in their last 6 encounters.
With only Lameck Banda (Thigh) and Kastriot Dermaku (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Roberto D'Aversa will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Sassuolo manager Alessio Dionisi ahead of this clash, with Agustín Álvarez (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Dionisi a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
