Fiorentina vs Lecce Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - August 25, 2023

Fiorentina vs Lecce
Italian Serie A
Date: 27 August 2023, Sunday
Kick-off at 17:30 UK / 18:30 CET
Venue: Stadio Artemio Franchi (Florence).

Fiorentina host Lecce in the second round of the new Serie A campaign on Sunday afternoon at Stadio Artemio Franchi.

Both teams were successful in their season openers and it will be very interesting to see which of them will be able to back up the last weekend’s result and stay on winning track after this Sunday.

Fiorentina pulled off an amazing first-half showing eight days ago in Genova, bagging three unanswered goals in what ended as a 1-4 victory for I Viola after teams snatched a goal each in the second half.

The good news for head coach Vincenzo Italiano is that his team had four distinct goal scorers on the occasion. The defensive line also did a solid job, keeping things quiet in front of their goal throughout most of the contest.

Lecce, on the other side, grabbed a huge three-pointer thanks to a super-later comeback in the home clash against Lazio last time out.

Pontus Almqvist and Federico Di Francesco notched two goals in quick succession inside the final ten minutes of the affair played last Sunday at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare.

It was a victorious debut in the league for Lecce’s new manager Roberto D’Aversa who had earlier picked up a 1-0 win over Como at the start of the team’s Coppa Italia campaign (his first official match in charge of Lecce).

Fiorentina vs Lecce Head-to-head

• Fiorentina lead the H2H tie by just 3 wins going into their 23rd encounter with Lecce. They’ve won six and lost four of the previous eleven home outings against Lecce.
• The outfits have three wins apiece in the previous eight head to head games as the remaining two matches ended with draws.
• All but one of the previous eight H2H affairs between these counterparts finished with fewer than three goals scored.

Fiorentina vs Lecce Prediction

Both Fiorentina and Lecce have shown great attacking displays on the opening day and we would not be surprised to see a high-scoring encounter when they come across each other at Stadio Artemio Franchi.

The Home Win & Both Teams To Score seems very attractive at the sky-high 4.00 odds while we also like the Over 2.5 goals FT bet at the 2.10 odds, despite recent H2H trend.

Fiorentina vs Lecce Betting Tips

• Fiorentina to win & Both Teams To Score @ 4.00 (3/1)
