  • Competition: Coppa Italia - Second Round
  • Date: Tuesday, 24th, September 2024
  • Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16.00 CEST
  • Venue: Stadio Via del Mare (Lecce)

In the battle for a spot in the last 16 of the Italian Cup, Lecce will face Serie B side Sassuolo at Stadio Via del Mare on Tuesday during the lunchtime kickoff.

Competing against the top teams in Italy for the third year in a row, Lee will strive to offer their loyal supporters a more calmer finish than the previous two seasons when they barely stayed afloat by just a few points. The new domestic campaign began with back-to-back expected losses against Europa League winners Atalanta and Serie A champions Inter, but Luca Gotti's men have bounced back successfully by putting together an unbeaten streak of three games, resulting in one victory and two draws.

Lecce's midweek opponents will be a Sassuolo side that ended their 11-year stay in the Italian top flight last season by finding themselves in second to last place when the curtain fell on the campaign. However, the Neroverdi have shown serious intentions for an immediate return to Serie A after earning a respectable 11 points to sit in a lofty third place, just one point behind Spezia in the automatic promotion spot and three points away from current leaders Pisa.

Lecce vs Sassuolo Betting Tips: X2 (DOUBLE CHANCE)

Even though they are separated by divisions, we believe there is no difference in quality, and it would not be surprising if the Serie B outfit advances to the next round of the Coppa Italia. Despite remaining unbeaten in their third top-flight match on the bounce, Lecce's motivation is in question after shockingly throwing away a two-goal lead in stoppage time to settle for a frustrating 2-2 draw against Parma over the weekend. For the third consecutive time this month as visitors, Sassuolo will look to emulate their latest two away successes in September, having triumphed over Carrarese and Cosenza with a combined score of 3-0, as they look to continue their Coppa Italia journey. 

Additionally, the Neroverdi have shown themselves to be difficult to overcome away from home, since they have yet to lose after four trips in the second tier, registering two wins and two draws along the way. At the same time, Sassuolo's previous visits to Via del Mare offer encouraging signs, as the green-and-black clad side have not lost in any of their four H2Hs at this venue (W1 D3), which is why we believe Grosso's team has enough resources to further frustrate an already shaken Lecce.

Lecce team news

Key duo Mohamed Kaba and Joan Gonzalez, along with experienced forward Nicola Sansone, have been confirmed as unavailable for Tuesday's Coppa Italia clash due to slow recoveries from their respective injuries.

Medon Berisha remains doubtful for this match after missing the Parma clash last time out, while coach Luca Gotti may make several changes to his starting XI, mindful of the tough away game against AC Milan in a few days.

Sassuolo team news

Due to an Achilles tendon injury sustained back in March, Domenico Berardi was unable to help his team stay in the top tier of Italian football, but his return to the pitch is nearing, and fans are eager to see him back in action.

Key centre-back Matteo Lovato is set to miss several matches after suffering an adductor injury over the weekend, but talented Cristian Volpato could make the starting lineup despite missing the game against Cosenza.
