US Lecce vs US Sassuolo Calcio Prediction 6 October 2023

The opening match of the eighth round of Serie A between Lecce and Sassuolo is scheduled for next Friday.

The underdog of the previous campaign, Lecce suddenly found themselves in seventh position with 11 points in the asset and a goal statistic of 8:9. Moreover, after successful games with Salernitana (2:0), Monza (1:1) and Genoa (1:0), the Giallorossi lost to the a priori more powerful Juventus (0:1) and Napoli (0:4).

In the last five matches of the league season, Sassuolo were stronger than Verona (3:1), Juventus (4:2) and Inter (2:1), and also suffered defeats 2:4 from Frosinone and 0:1 from Monza. Thus, Neroverdi settled in eleventh place with nine points and a goal difference of 11:13, which completely suits them.

In our opinion, Lecce are gradually slowing down after an unexpected start. In such situations, Sassuolo have every chance of getting at least a draw.
