Match description
Sassuolo are the favorites in this fixture: they have scored 44 goals this season and average 1.28 goals per home game, while Lecce have only 24 goals in total and average 0.67 goals on the road. The hosts create and convert more chances — at home they average 3.56 shots on target and a 12% conversion rate, versus 2.06 shots on target and 8% conversion for Lecce away. In the last 5 matches Sassuolo have scored 6 goals and averaged 1.4 points per game, while Lecce have 3 goals and 1.0 point per game; both teams conceded 5 goals, indicating similar defensive issues (Sassuolo concede 1.28 goals at home on average, Lecce 1.33 away). Additionally, Sassuolo win 50% of home matches, whereas Lecce win only 22% of away games and fail to score more often (33% of Sassuolo matches without a goal vs 50% for Lecce), which gives the hosts an edge. Considering the higher home xG of 1.18 versus 0.99 for the visitors and better shots on target and conversion metrics, I tip a Sassuolo victory; estimated probabilities: 62% home, 22% draw, 16% away.
