Command Analysis

Sassuolo

Sassuolo are an attacking team that plays open football. It doesn't always pay off: in the first round of Coppa Italia, the Neroverdi lost to Modene (2:3), and in the opening game of 2022-2023 Serie A season, they suffered a devastating defeat to Juventus (0:3). Sassuolo will try to get their first win in the upcoming game against Lecce, but will have to do it without Hamed Traore, who is out injured.

Lecce

Lecce had a glorious 2021-2022 season in Serie B, but their start to the new football year has been frustrating. The team suffered a 2:3 defeat to Cittadella in Coppa Italia before losing to Inter Milan in the league (1:2). Lecce almost held the Nerazzurri to a draw, but conceded a goal in injury time. Kastroit Dermaku and Mert Celin are doubtful, otherwise Lecce's head coach Marco Baroni has no injury concerns.
