Competition: Italy Serie A

Match begins: 16:30 (UTC)
Venue: Stadio Artemio Franchi (47300 seats)

It's only the second game in the Serie A for these contenders. And it's all to play for here at Stadio Artemio Franchi as Fiorentina welcome Lecce. Get smart with this preview!

These teams have little in common geographically as Lecce have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There have been limited time to rest for the team playing at home, as they had a Europa Conference League game only three days back. That game was an away game at Rapid Vienna, so at least Fiorentina are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Fiorentina form and stats

The season before, Fiorentina's league results were 15 wins, 11 draws and 12 losses, producing 8th position in the Serie A. During these 38 matches they scored {53 goals} and let in 43. Appearing as the home team in the previous season Fiorentina generated 9-6-4 (win-draw-lost) with {30 goals} and 22 conceded.

Almqvist scored one goal, dribled past the opponent 7 of 10 times and had 32 successful passes (of 35 total).

Before that, the win at home against Como in the Coppa Italia (1-0).
