- Location: Stadio Via del Mare, Lecce
Game Overview
Lecce hosts Sassuolo in Serie A 2025/26, Matchweek 7. Both teams are in mid-table, but with Sassuolo showing stronger recent form. Lecce's home struggles and Sassuolo's inconsistent away record set the tone for a close contest, though recent momentum favors the visitors.
Key Factors to Consider
- Lecce ended a five-match winless start with a 1-0 win over Parma, but have just one win in their last 14 home Serie A matches (D4, L9) and failed to score in eight of those. Sassuolo are on a two-game winning run and have won three of their last four, though they have just one win in their last 16 away top-flight games (D3, L12)[3].
- Sassuolo beat Lecce 2-0 in their last visit to Stadio Via del Mare. Three of the last four H2Hs here have seen under 2.5 goals, with one Sassuolo win and two draws in the latest three[1][5].
- No major injuries reported for either side, but lineups are not fully confirmed pre-match[4].
- Stadio Via del Mare remains a difficult venue for Lecce, who have failed to capitalize on home advantage. Sassuolo's away form is generally poor, but they enter with momentum[3].
- Lecce need points to avoid relegation battle, while Sassuolo could move into European qualification spots with a win, which adds urgency for both teams[3].
