Lecce vs. Sassuolo Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Lecce and Sassuolo, taking place on Friday, 06 October 2023, at Stadio Via del Mare in Lecce.
Lecce, Recent Form
Lecce manager Roberto D'Aversa will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 4-0 home defeat by Napoli. They came away from that fixture with 44% of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Napoli managed 15 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
When it comes to attacking power D'Aversa will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped.
It's been a mixed run of form for Lecce recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Nikola Krstović will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Lecce's last 6 league games.
Sassuolo, Recent Form
The Sassuolo players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Monza recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 43%, while racking up 19 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Monza had 13 shots on goal with 4 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Alessio Dionisi will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 11 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 11 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 15 games overall.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Sassuolo, Domenico Berardi will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
