Serie A: What this game might miss in elegance it should pay back in tempo and dedication. Let's go: Fiorentina - Lecce!

Insights:
  • Fiorentina have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.

Lecce have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Fiorentina have less rest than Lecce in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Europa Conference League game only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Sivasspor.

Lecce form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie A travels is 4 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats. Recent form does not give Lecce much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Fiorentina will be a tough nut to crack.

Lecce failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Torino (after extra-time) (placed 8th) that ended with defeat 0-2. The attacker Oudin got a match rating of 7.23 in that game. Oudin hit three key passes.

Prior to that match, the Lecce manager Baroni faced defeat when travelling to Inter (after extra-time) and losing 0-2.

The attacking power of Lecce when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 13 league matches away. 14 goals have been conceded by Lecce in these games.
