📋 Team News: Sassuolo

We are thinking that Sassuolo should go for a 4-3-3 formation for this game and select Stefano Turati, Woyo Coulibaly, Pedro Felipe, Tarik Muharemovic, Ulisses Garcia, Ismael Kone, Nemanja Matic, Kristian Thorstvedt, Domenico Berardi, M'Bala Nzola and Armand Lauriente.

📰 Team News: Lecce

It’s our belief that Giallorossi could decide to make use of a 4-2-3-1 system, going with Wladimiro Falcone, Danilo Veiga, Jamil Siebert, Tiago Gabriel, Antonino Gallo, Ylber Ramadani, Oumar Ngom, Santiago Pierotti, Lassana Coulibaly, Lameck Banda and Walid Cheddira.

🔮 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Lecce and Sassuolo may well both score, with little between these two teams.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes, with a good chance of a draw. We’re therefore expecting a very close game with a 1-1 score draw at the end of this game.
