Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Sassuolo and Lecce square off against each other at Mapei Stadium – Citta del Tricolore in what is expected to be a close Serie A encounter. The Neroverdi have drawn each of their last three league matches and, no doubt, they need to return to winning ways as soon as possible if they are to avoid relegation. Forward Domenico Berardi misses out with an ACL injury, while defender Marcus Pedersen faces race against clock to bet fit for Sunday’s matinee.
The Biancocelesti, on the other hand, recorded a very important victory over Empoli at the weekend, with Nicola Sansone scoring a late winner. The 32-year-old is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while fellow attacker Pontus Almqvist misses out through suspension. Anyhow, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score as Sassuolo are likely to stick to their attacking style of play following a thrilling 3-3 draw with Milan.
