It has been a difficult period in Serie A for Fiorentina, but they will be aiming to get their European challenge back on track when they travel to Lecce this weekend. The hosts are without a win in their last five matches in the Italian top division.
Serie A Preview
The action in Italy’s top division kicks off on Friday, as Fiorentina bid to get their season back on track. They come into this latest round of matches sitting sixth in the standings after failing to win in their last three matches. Fiorentina remain in a strong position to challenge for a Champions League spot despite that recent form, as they are currently just two points off the top four spots.
However, their recent form would be a pressing concern ahead of this latest round. The Italian club have lost two of their last three, and they will need a response. The side from Florence were unable to stop Inter Milan’s excellent run of form in their latest fixture, as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at home. However, they showed signs of promise in that match after pushing for an equaliser in the final 20 minutes.

Lecce will also be come into this match under increasing pressure, as they have been unable to move clear of the relegation places in recent weeks after losing each of their last three. That run of form means that they have picked up just four wins in 22 outings this term.
They are now just three points clear of the drop zone, with their most recent defeat being suffered against Genoa last weekend. Despite taking an early lead, Lecce threw away maximum points within the space of six second-half minutes.
Lecce vs Fiorentina Head to Head
Two of the last three matches between these sides have ended in draws, which includes the previous clash this term. However, Fiorentina are unbeaten in their last four against Lecce, landing an away win against their rivals in July 2020.
Lecce vs Fiorentina Prediction
Lecce have found wins very hard to come by this season, and this doesn’t appear to be the best match in order to respond. Fiorentina should have far too much quality for their rivals, and we expect the away side to claim victory.
