David Ballardini, as well as to get Sassuolo out of the hot zone of the standings, he will look for the victory against Lecce to make a mark in his personal score against the Salento team: to date, in 8 previous matches, the victories are 4 against a draw and 3 defeats. Two of the three missed passes date back to the last two games played in Serie A.
Accounting for precedents begins in 2005/2006. Lecce, then relegated after the alternation of coaches Gregucci-Baldini-Rizzo, beat 3-0 (Konan-Pinardi-Ledesma) Cagliari by Ballardini in the 6th. First and only draw in 2008/2009: 1-1 (Cacia-Cavani) at Via del Mare leading the Palermo, then clearly victorious with a 5-2 at Barbera. Tiribocchi’s brace was in vain in the face of Cavani’s encore and goals from Miccoli, Simplicio and Kjaer.
Double victory for Ballardini at Genoa in 2010/2011 against De Canio’s Lecce. 1-3 at Via del Mare (Ofere, Toni, Ranocchia and Marco Rossi) and 4-2 at Ferraris (doubles by Di Michele, Floro Flores and Palacio). Defeat at home for the coach against Cagliari in 2011/2012: Cosmi prevailed thanks to Muriel and Bertolacci interspersed with Larrivey’s 1-1 draw.
In 2018/2019, Ballardini began the season at Genoa with 4-0 (poker of Piatek) at Lecce in Liverans newly promoted to B. In 2022/2023, when the trainer failed to save the Cremonese, the last meeting. Lecce beat the Grigiorossi at Zini 0-2 (Baschirotto, Strefezza).
