With six losses in the last seven Serie A matches, Lecce have put themselves in a precarious position, and while it seemed at one point that they might avoid being in the relegation battle, they are certainly in danger of relegation now.
In fact, they are currently in the relegation zone, although they are also tied in points with Cremonese, the first team that's outside of the relegation zone. With other teams either way behind or with a solid advantage, it seems that Lecce and Cremonese will fight until the end to see who will be the final team to go down to Serie B.
The hosts will have to once again manage without injured Francesco Camarda, Medon Berisha, and Kialonda Gaspar, while Riccardo Sottil is questionable.
On the other hand, Fiorentina enter this game as one of Serie A's hottest teams. While they were in the relegation zone for many weeks, they have climbed out of it after notching three wins and two draws in their last five league matches. La Viola now sit in the 15th spot in the standings and they are eight points ahead of the relegation zone.
That being said, Fiorentina probably won't be in the best of moods at the moment since they've been eliminated from the Conference League by Crystal Palace, a competition that continues to elude them after losing twice in the final before.
Meanwhile, Fiorentina will miss injured Niccolo Fortini, Fabiano Parisi, and Tariq Lamptey, while Marco Brescianini and Moise Kean are listed as questionable.

Whispers predicts: Lecce 0-2 Fiorentina
These two teams enter their duel in such contrasting forms and with Fiorentina flying high lately, we can't overlook the guests to win at 6/5 odds.
Meanwhile, we expect this to be a low-scoring game considering Lecce's struggles with scoring this season and especially lately, since they failed to score in their last three games in a row. So, under 2.5 total goals at 3/4 odds sounds quite tempting.
Building on this, Fiorentina to win to nil at 13/5 odds is a good choice for braver souls and a half-time draw at 23/20 odds also sounds realistic.
> Fiorentina to win at 6/5 | Likelihood: Probable
> Half-time draw at 23/20 | Likelihood: Probable
> Under 2.5 total goals at 3/4 | Likelihood: Possible
> Fiorentina to win to nil at 13/5 | Likelihood: Possible
> Correct score 0-2 at 19/2 | Likelihood: Outsider
