With relegation threat looking a distinct possibility, Lecce would be desperate to end their recent sliding fortunes as they come up against top-four chasers Fiorentina. This Serie A game will be played at the Stadio Via del mare on Friday. The hosts are 14th ahead of this round with 21 points from 22 matches, while the visitors are 6th with 34 points from 21 matches. Lecce are only three points above the bottom-three and that is due to their recent poor form. Five losses and just one point from their last six league games has seen them erase the positives of a five-game unbeaten run prior to that. Lecce have failed to score in four of their last six games and that seems to be an issue they need to immediately address. At least at home they seem to have found a way to remain competitive having drawn four and won one of their last six home league games.

Fiorentina are only two points behind top-four teams and that gives them an incentive to improve their recent record. The visitors were beaten 1-0 by Inter Milan in their last league game, which was their second defeat across three matches. The only point in that sequence was a 2-2 draw with Udinese, halting a five-game unbeaten run where they won four games. They still remain one of the toughest units to breach with only 22 goals conceded in Serie A this season. Those positives though, have been negated by a strike force that has scored just 29 goals. The challenges are evident on the road where Fiorentina have lost three and drew one of their last five away league games.
