Lecce take on the visitors Sassuolo in the round 24 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, February 25th at Stadio Via del Mare (Lecce).
Lecce continues= to impress with their high-quality football and is not afraid to attack even against strong opponents. We think Marco Baroni's team has a good chance of winning this match and t is unlikely that the hosts will lose to their opponents from Sassuolo. After losing to Salernitana at the end of January, Lecce has not lost a game in the league for three consecutive matches. In their last home game, they fought hard against Roma, drawing 1-1. They even beat Cremonese and Atalanta away from home, 2-0 and 2-1, respectively.

Sassuolo also had a good run at the end of January and beginning of February, not losing for some time, defeating the crisis-ridden champions of the country Milan, and beating Atalanta. However, in the previous round, they suffered a predictable defeat to Napoli, breaking their unbeaten streak. Currently, Napoli seems unstoppable. But in their last away game in the league, Sassuolo only managed to draw with Udinese, who have been struggling in the second half of the season. Moreover, the opponent looked much better, so the 1 point was considered lucky. In the current season, Sassuolo have lost to teams such as Bologna, Empoli, and Fiorentina away from home. So why couldn't Lecce defeat them?
In fact, we have a match between two teams of approximately equal strength, judging by the league table. There are only three points between the hosts and the visitors. In this confrontation, the main factor is likely to be the home advantage together with current conditions. For out bet, we had two options: 1X for a more modest coefficient and handicap (0) Lecce. We choose the second one. The hosts can quite possibly win this game, but it is unlikely that they will lose. In 11 home games of the current season, Lecce has suffered only three defeats. Yes, there have only been two victories, but against which opponents - Lazio and Atalanta. Sassuolo have lost exactly half of their 12 away matches in Serie A, and has only achieved two victories away from home. I think Lecce's players will take revenge for their 0-1 defeat in the reverse fixture of this season. Our pick is 0 handicap on the hosts.
Prediction for the match: Lecce to win with 0.0 handicap.
