Fiorentina vs Lecce Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The hosts have already defeated Lecce once this season.

Fiorentina are ready to take on Lecce on matchday 27 of the Serie A 2024-25 season. The hosts are in the sixth spot as they have won 12 matches in 26 league games so far. Lecce are near the relegation zone as they are in the 16th place after winning just six matches in the same number of games as La Viola.

Fiorentina will be at home but will be low on confidence as they are on a three-match losing streak in the Serie A. They conceded a late goal in the final moments and because of their loose defence, they dropped three more points in the last game. The hosts are looking to get to the final four and for that, they’ll have to come up with some victories in the upcoming league fixtures.

Lecce will be looking to avoid the relegation zone. They have shown some below-average performances, which have placed them in the bottom half of the table. Lecce will also be under pressure. They are winless in their last three league games and will be looking to make a comeback against an out-of-form team.
