Sassuolo – Lecce

Sassuolo, perched at ninth place with seven points after two wins, a draw and a loss, will host Lecce, who sit twelfth with six points from two victories and two defeats. The home side’s narrow 8‑7 goal advantage contrasts with Lecce’s slightly poorer 5‑7 record, suggesting a tightly contested encounter. Both teams will be eager to close the gap to the top half of the table, and the head‑to‑head balance this season could prove decisive as they chase vital points.
