Lecce bid to avoid a third successive defeat in Serie A. They begin this match in seventh which is four places above the visitors Sassuolo. The home side will find this game a bit easier than their last two Serie A fixtures. They lost 1-0 at Juventus and then were beaten 4-0 at home by defending champions Napoli. The Wolves had been unbeaten in their first five games of the new season. Three of those had been won, all of them coming on home soil. That good run began with a come-from-behind 2-1 win over Lazio and followed by a 2-0 victory over Salernitana and a 1-0 defeat of Genoa. All those teams beaten are currently in the bottom seven of Serie A. The Salentinians have seen four of their seven league games this season have under 2.5 goals scored in them.

Sassuolo can go ahead of Lecce if winning this Friday night game. They have been blowing hot and cold this season with their seven league fixtures producing three wins and four defeats, not a draw in sight. Their most recent match saw them lose 1-0 at home to Monza. That was a disappointing result after two excellent performances. They'd won 4-2 at home to Juventus and then went to Inter and won 2-1. Before that though they had three of their last four games. On the road, Sassuolo had only earned one point from seven away league matches before winning at Inter We go for under 2.5 goals to be scored in this match.
