[wptb id=395931]
A Battle of Unpredictabilities in Serie A
Key Stats
– Domenico Berardi has been involved in five goals in his last five appearances for Sassuolo.
– Lecce and Sassuolo together average nearly 10 corners a game, indicating a corner-filled clash.
The Italian Serie A never fails to entice, and when Lecce and Sassuolo face off at Stadio Via del Mare, fans can expect an interesting duel.
Lecce’s Roller Coaster Ride
The commencement of the season saw Lecce, under Roberto D’Aversa’s tutelage, ride high. An astonishing accumulation of 11 points from their first five clashes with three consecutive home victories over Lazio, Salernitana, and Genoa earmarked them as a force to reckon with. To put this in perspective, Lecce’s home wins during this campaign have already matched their total home wins for the entirety of the last season. Notably, last season, Lecce barely managed to avoid the relegation spots, finishing 16th, showcasing their inconsistency.

Despite recent setbacks against football giants Juventus and Napoli, Lecce still proudly occupy a position in the European spots. This significant achievement contrasts heavily with their previous season, where they struggled to register a win in their first six fixtures.
Sassuolo’s Bewildering Form
Sassuolo’s unpredictable nature continues to baffle both their ardent supporters and neutral spectators. While they might achieve the improbable, such as a remarkable win over Juventus, they often falter against seemingly weaker opponents, exemplified by their loss to newly-promoted Frosinone. Despite this, the prowess of Domenico Berardi can’t be overlooked. His dazzling performances, especially the recent masterclass against Simone Inzaghi’s Inter Milan, have been instrumental. However, as evidenced by a shock defeat to Monza soon after the high of defeating Inter, Sassuolo’s instability remains their biggest adversary.
Key Players to Watch
Lecce will be buoyed by the return of Mohamed Kaba, although they’ll miss the services of Lameck Banda and Kastriot Dermaku. Nikola Krstovic, with six goals this season, will be pivotal for the home side. For Sassuolo, Domenico Berardi stands out as their beacon. His return has invigorated the team, contributing to five goals in his recent five appearances.
Data-Driven Predictions
- Under/Over Market: With Lecce scoring an average of 1.1 goals and Sassuolo 1.6, there’s a hint at a match where both teams could score. However, considering Lecce’s recent defensive vulnerabilities against top teams and Sassuolo’s penchant for inconsistency, an Over 2.5 goals seems plausible.
- Correct Score Prediction: Based on the above, a probable score could be 2-1 in favour of Lecce.
- Goalscorer Prediction: Given his recent form and significance in the squad, Domenico Berardi is poised to add to his tally.
- Corner Prediction: Lecce have averaged 3.3 corners, while Sassuolo average 6.6. This suggests Sassuolo might win more corners, with a total of around 10 corners in the match.
