Betting on Lecce
Lecce is gradually pulling away from the dreaded relegation zone, and they have a chance to cement their upward trajectory with a home victory this Saturday.
Marco Baroni’s side is on a roll, boasting an impressive three-game unbeaten run that has propelled them to 13th place in the Serie A standings with 27 points. The gap between them and Verona, the last team in the Serie B standings, is a comfortable 10 points.
Lecce’s recent form has been nothing short of remarkable. They managed to snatch a draw against Roma and then pulled off a stunning upset against Atalanta in their last outing. These results were not anticipated, but they have enabled Lecce to climb up the mid-table standings.
Despite their recent success, there is still room for improvement. Lecce’s home form has been lackluster, with only 12 points garnered from a possible 33. They have not won a home game in their last three attempts, and their last victory at home was on matchday 16 when they defeated Lazio.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Wladimiro Falcone; Antonino Gallo, Samuel Umtiti, Federico Baschirotto, Valentin Gendrey; Kristoffer Askildsen, Morten Hjulmand, Alexis Blin; Federico Di Francesco, Assan Ceesay, Gabriel Strefezza.
Betting on Sassuolo
Sassuolo’s hopes of extending their four-game unbeaten run were dashed in a single blow by Napoli in their previous match.
Despite securing victories against Milan and Atalanta earlier in the season, Alessio Dionisi’s side remains stranded in 15th place on the Serie A table after their defeat against the league leaders.
With only 24 points from 23 games, the Neroverdi find themselves in a precarious situation and are in urgent need of a win against a direct rival to pull away from relegation. Verona, who occupy the final relegation spot to Serie B, are only seven points behind Sassuolo.
Sassuolo’s away form has shown some signs of improvement, with the club managing to avoid defeat in their last three away fixtures. However, they remain one of the weakest teams in the league on the road, having only picked up 10 points from a possible 36. Additionally, they are the fourth-worst side in terms of conceding goals away from home, having let in a total of 22.
Possible line-up (4-3-3): Andrea Consigli; Rogério, Ruan Tressoldi, Martin Erlic, Nadir Zortea; Matheus Henrique, Pedro Obiang, Davide Frattesi; Armand Laurienté, Gregoire Drefel, Domenico Berardi.
JefeBet Prediction
The inconsistency of these two teams is truly baffling, as one week they can look unstoppable against the best clubs in the league and the next they can look like Serie B worthy squads.
That is why it’s not very clear what we can expect for next Saturday’s clash, apart from the fact that two of the lowest scoring offenses in the championship are facing each other.
Such a performance could be seen in their first game of the season and, in Lecce’s case, 15 of their 23 games, including six at home, have ended with less than three total goals on the scoreboard.
Prediction: Under (LEC 1 – SAS 1).
