Venue: Stadio Comunale Via del Mare (33876 seats)

Season ticket holders at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Lecce languishing in the 18th position so far. The guesting Fiorentina will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

It's no vacation for neither Lecce nor Fiorentina as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Fiorentina, who are travelling more than 800 kilometers to play this game.

Lecce form and stats

With 3 Serie A wins, 5 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Lecce, who have the most conceded goals (71) in Serie A, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Lecce manager F. Liverani and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Cagliari (placed 11th) in the Serie A. Before that, Lecce had a home game versus Lazio which ended with a victory 2-1.

There will be little rest for Lecce after this match as they are travelling to Genoa for a Serie A game in only four days.

Lecce are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 23 goals in 16 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Lecce with 33 goals conceded in these matches.

Fiorentina form and stats

As the visiting team in Serie A matches, Fiorentina have produced an overall stat of 5-4-6 so far.

There were no winners in Fiorentina's previous match, a Serie A home game that ended 1-1 vs Hellas Verona (placed 9th). Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Cagliari.

As mentioned above, Fiorentina drew the match against Hellas Verona. Manager G. Iachini brought on Patrick Cutrone to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

A quick return to home after this game, as Fiorentina are hosting Torino in the Serie A only four days away.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Fiorentina have scored 22 goals in 15 league games away. As opposed to that, Fiorentina have seen the ball go into their own net 22 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Fiorentina - Lecce 0-1 played earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last nine meetings: four - two - three (Lecce wins - draws - Fiorentina wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.
