Fiorentina, Recent FormFiorentina will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-0 away win against Cremonese. Their share of possession in that meeting was 53%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Cremonese, who had 16 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Vincenzo Italiano will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 9 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 5 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. Italiano will be concerned about his leaky defence after they have failed to keep a clean sheet at home for 9 games in a row.
It's been a mixed run of form at Stadio Artemio Franchi for Fiorentina recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 home games.
Arthur Cabral will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Fiorentina.
Lecce, Recent FormThe Lecce squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 home defeat against Torino, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 55% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Torino's tally of 4 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 7 and seen valuable points lost. The art of scoring goals has eluded them, having failed to find the back of the net for the past 3 games in a row. This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 23 of their 26 league games.
Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.
Lorenzo Colombo will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Fiorentina in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Lecce.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Fiorentina defence has struggled in front of its own fans when Giallorossi have come to town, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 4 meetings at Stadio Artemio Franchi. During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Stadio Artemio Franchi, Fiorentina have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net. La Viola have struggled for goals when Lecce comes to visit Stadio Artemio Franchi, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams at Stadio Artemio Franchi, Lecce has taken all 3 points and has not lost away to Fiorentina in 4 games.
With no real injury worries, Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Italiano will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
With only Kastriot Dermaku (Hamstring) and Marin Pongračić (Ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Marco Baroni will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
