Serie A
The two sides have met eight times since 2010, seven of which were Serie A games and one of which was a Coppa Italia match. Sassuolo were the stronger team during this period, achieving four wins and three draws. Lecce only managed one win, while two games ended in a draw. The average number of goals per game was 2.6.
Lecce team overview
Lecce's only victory this season came just before the international break, when they beat Parma 1:0 away. The Yellow and Reds had failed to win any of their first five Serie A games of the campaign, losing five and drawing two.
They didn't even score in the first two, but goals have been coming thick and fast recently, with the team boasting at least one goal in each of their last four matches.
Nevertheless, head coach Eusebio Di Francesco will be concerned that his side lost their last match against Sassuolo at this ground 2-0.
Gaby Jean is ruled out until next month due to a cruciate ligament injury, while Matías Pérez could be fit again by the end of the month after his hamstring problem.

Sassuolo team overview
Like their hosts, Sassuolo got off to a terrible start in the 2025–26 campaign, picking up only three points from their opening four games.
Many pundits said they had a tough schedule, having faced the likes of Napoli, Lazio and Inter Milan in the first month.
These opinions were proven correct when I Neroverdi beat Udinese 3-1 and Hellas Verona 1-0 just before the international break.
Having won 3 of their last 5 Serie A meetings with Lecce, head coach Fabio Grosso will fancy his side's chances of securing another win that will keep them in the top half of the standings.

Prediction
Having secured three league victories, one of which was against Lazio, Sassuolo have demonstrated their ability to compete in the top division, making them my favourites to win this match. Lecce have not won any of their three league games at the Stadio Via del Mare this season and have won only once in the last 13, so a home win seems unlikely. I am expecting a close game that could end in a 1:1 draw.
Three reasons we expect Sassuolo to win or draw this game
- Lecce have won just one of their last 13 home games in Serie A.
- Sassuolo lost only one of their last eight meetings with Lecce.
- Lecce have won just one of their last seven competitive games.
