Sassuolo vs Lecce Prediction & Betting Tips (21 April)

Not really used to fighting not to go down, Sassuolo is in great difficulty this season. Indeed, Andrea Pinamonti's teammates today occupy the 19th and penultimate place in Serie A with 2 units of expenditure on the first non-relegation. On the tough side, they have won only one of their last 13 league matches, for 4 draws and 8 defeats. The team based in Friuli, on the other hand, has shown more solidity since the return of the international break in March. Udinese remains on 3 shares of the points acquired against Udinese 1-1, Salernitana 2-2 and AC Milan last weekend 3-3. Also engaged in the battle for maintenance, Lecce is currently 13th in Serie A and is 5 points ahead of the first relegation.

The team based in Puglia has recently distanced itself from the red zone. Indeed, Rémi Oudin's partners have pocketed 2 victories in the last 4 days, for 1 draw and 1 defeat. After being soundly beaten in the lair of AC Milan 3-0, they resumed their march forward last weekend. Lecce took advantage of the support of its supporters to gain the upper hand over Empoli 1-0, a direct competitor for maintenance.

For Sassuolo, we must point out the withdrawals of the essential Berardi (9 goals and 3 assists in SA), the defender Pedersen and the little-used winger Castillejo. The relatively little-used midfielder Obiang is uncertain. The absence of Berardi at the end of the season is obviously a big blow to the maintenance operation.

Less to his advantage compared to the previous year, the former Merlu Laurienté (4 goals and 4 assists in SA) stood out last weekend with a double. He should start this Sunday just like striker Pinamonti (10 goals in SA).
