Fiorentina vs Lecce Prediction
🔊 Will Fiorentina's winless streak, which spans 3 matches, come to an end? The "Violas" have been showing extremely inconsistent results this season, marking their third crisis for the team. Lecce, hovering between the relegation zone and 16th place, will try to grab points despite the game taking place at "Stadio Artemio Franchi". We recommend checking out our prediction before placing a bet on the Serie A Matchday 27 game.
Head-to-Head
In the last 10 years, the teams have met on the field only 7 times, and neither has a significant advantage in the results. While Fiorentina emerged stronger in 3 cases, Lecce recorded 2 victories. However, in the first round, this did not prevent the "Violas" from destroying their opponent with a score of 6-0, playing away.

ACF Fiorentina Team Overview
A convincing victory over Inter (3-0) gave Fiorentina the opportunity to savor success. However, after that, the "Violas" played three matches and lost each of them, even though the level of the opponents was not very high. In the previous round, the team lost to Verona without scoring (0-1), who are near the relegation zone. Moreover, Fiorentina did not look any better than the "Mastiffs" in terms of play, with equal statistics in all parameters. As a result, Raffaele Palladino's team not only dropped out of the top 4 but also fell to sixth place, trailing Juventus by 7 points. Additionally, in the last game, Moise Kean, the club's top scorer (15+2), lost consciousness. And even without him, the "Violas" have many squad issues - 6 more players will not play, including Amir Richardson.

US Lecce Team Overview
Lecce is facing a very unpleasant series. The team has been unable to secure a victory in three consecutive matches, and in each of them, they failed to break through the opponents' defense. The last game ended in a home defeat against a not-so-serious opponent like Udinese (0-1). Over 90 minutes, the "Salentians" made 10 shots and managed only 0.32 goals according to the xG metric. Their defensive play cannot be called successful either, as Marco Giampaolo's squad could have conceded three goals into their own net. Nevertheless, Lecce continues to hold onto a comfortable 16th place. As for the upcoming encounter, the coaching staff will not be able to count on 4 players, including Thorir Johann Helgason.

⚽️ Prediction on Goals
As we have already noted, goals have become the most scarce element for Fiorentina and Lecce recently. If the "Salentians" haven't been able to hit the opponents' net for over 270+ minutes, while Marco Giampaolo's team has scored only 1 goal in the previous 3 matches (and that was from a penalty). We do not expect a breakthrough in the upcoming encounter, so we are betting on total goals under 2.5.
🚩 Prediction on Corners
Corners are the only statistical indicator where Lecce has a slight advantage over Fiorentina. The "Salentians" rank 16th in the Italian championship, approaching the corner flag an average of 4.2 times. Marco Giampaolo's team, on the other hand, with an average total of 4.0 corners, ranks one position lower. Even in the previous match against not the strongest Verona (0-1), the "Viola" with their attacking football earned only 1 set piece at the opponents' goal. Therefore, our betting option is total corners under 9.5.
Editor's Prediction
Bookmakers have no doubt that Fiorentina will come out stronger in the upcoming clash. Despite a streak of three defeats, it's hard to argue with this opinion. Firstly, "La Viola" performs quite confidently on their home turf. Yes, there are occasional slip-ups, but mainly the team achieves positive results. Secondly, the difference in class is too great. "La Viola" has a fairly strong squad by Serie A standards, and they are rightly in the race for a Champions League spot next season. Moreover, in the first round, Lecce, even with the support of their home fans, could not offer any resistance (0-6). We believe the match will end with a score of 2-0, so as the main betting option, we choose Fiorentina's victory.
