Lecce Form and Squad
Lecce are on a run of four straight defeats but, to be fair, the home team have had a brutal schedule: all opponents sat in the top eight. Far more important is that in the meeting with fellow strugglers Cremonese (2:1) Eusebio Di Francesco's men snatched victory and produced attractive, attacking football.
Key Lecce Numbers:
Lecce make more clearances than any other side in the Serie A (30.2).
Lecce are seventh for goals from set pieces (seven).
Wladimiro Falcone ranks sixth for goals prevented (4.5).
Potential Lecce Lineup (4-5-1): Falcone — Veiga, Gabriel, Siebert, Ndaba — Ramadani, Ngom, Pierotti, Coulibaly, Banda — Stulic.
Unavailable: Berisha, Camarda, Gaspar, Sottil (all injured).
Fiorentina Form and Squad
In their last five Serie A matches the Viola have picked up 11 points, but their performances have raised plenty of questions. Paolo Vanoli's side perform excellently against top teams, yet struggle badly against outsiders. Not long ago Fiorentina edged past relegation-bound Verona 1:0, creating only 0.36 xG and registering just one shot on target.
Key Fiorentina Numbers:
Fiorentina sit 13th for away points (17).
Fiorentina have failed to score more than one goal in three consecutive matches.
Fiorentina rank 18th for goals from set pieces (five).
Potential Fiorentina Lineup (4-3-3): De Gea — Dodo, Rugani, Ranieri, Gosens — Fabbian, Mandragora, Ndour — Harrison, Piccoli, Fazzini.
