Sassuolo to flop at Lecce
-
Spoils to be shared in Midlands derby

Another high-scorer for Almeria
Lecce (90mins) @ 7/52.40
Lecce's bright start to the Serie A season has been curtailed somewhat by two defeats, but losses to Juventus and Napoli can be forgiven.
Prior to that they had been unbeaten in their five games, with their three home matches resulting in three wins.
Sassuolo have been inconsistent so far this term, with three wins and four defeats from their seven fixtures. To demonstrate their inconsistency, they followed victories over Juventus and Inter Milan with a 0-1 home defeat to Monza. They simply can't be trusted.
The Draw in Birmingham v WBA (90mins) @ 13/82.63
The Baggies are back in form with two wins from their last two, and their unbeaten run now stands at five.
Birmingham are in a much better place than they were prior to midweek, as they ended a disappointing spell of results by thrashing Huddersfield 4-1.
I expect West Brom to finish about the Blues come the end of the season, but this game is at St Andrew's, and I expect this derby to be quite a tight affair.
BTTS in Athletic Bilbao v Almeria (90mins) @ 3/41.75
Almeria only narrowly avoided relegation last season, and things haven't improved this year at all.
Alberto Lasarte is their caretaker manager, and his first match in charge last time finished 3-3. Scoring goals hasn't been too much of an issue - they have netted 11 in eight - but keeping their opposition from scoring has been a huge problem.
Aside from their season opener, BTTS have collected in all of their La Liga games this term, and it's just one clean sheet in four home matches for the hosts.
