Struggles have caught up with Fiorentina and Lecce, as their seasons have gone downhill in the last couple of weeks. Whether it is qualification for continental competitions next season or just avoiding relegation, it is a fact that what both these teams are aiming for is currently in jeopardy.
Fiorentina Team News
Three successive losses have soured the mood in the Fiorentina camp as their aspirations for Champions League football next season have taken a hit. The team is currently 7th and outside of the places granting European football next season, with this string of 3 losses playing a major part in this downfall. Two of those losses came against teams in the bottom half of the table – Como and struggling Venezia. Lecce is a similar opponent so Fiorentina must take this game seriously and approach it differently if they are to take something from it and keep their ambitions alive. Stadio Artemio Franchi has not been the fortress it should be for Fiorentina recently either, as the team’s record across the last 5 games here is neutral – 2 wins, 2 losses and a draw.
Lecce Team News
Lecce is also a team that is struggling for form and facing the very real danger of relegation. The team has been struggling in front of goal this whole season with their goal tally being the lowest across Serie A. Recent form for the Giallorossi is not exactly thrilling either – 1 win across the last 5 league matches. What is fascinating is the fact that Lecce have managed to score in just 1 of those fixtures – in their 1-3 away win against Parma. However, looking at the away stats for Lecce, we can see 2 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw across their last 5 league trips, which could at least serve as a platform to get something out of a struggling Fiorentina team.
Head-to-Head-Games
Games between Fiorentina and Lecce tend to be close with the former having a slight edge across the last 5 meetings with 2 wins as opposed to the latter’s 1. The 3 most recent H2Hs have also been jam-packed with goals as all have produced over 3.5 goals. Interestingly enough, Lecce have the upper hand in the last 5 games with Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.

Fiorentina – Lecce Betting Prediction
Both teams are struggling for form and need the 3 points. Despite recent bad results, possible low morale, difficulty in the recent H2Hs and a rather sub-par record as host across their last home fixtures, my pick is still going to be a win for Fiorentina here. This is mainly because Lecce is the league’s lowest goal-scoring team and has managed to score in just 1 of their last 4 league fixtures. I also think that Fiorentina will be able to bounce back from their ongoing crisis and return to their stellar form from the start of the season should they manage to secure the 3 points here. At the very least, their main goal threat, Moise Kean should be able to make the game with Lecce, which is indeed a huge boost for Fiorentina and their aspirations for the season.
