FW Predictions for Lecce vs Fiorentina
Lecce will be satisfied with the start they have made to life back in Serie A as they remain out of the relegation place, even if it is by just a couple of points. Visiting Fiorentina qualified for European football last season but the current campaign is going as smoothly as the Florance-based club sits 13th in the table with just 9pts from their opening nine matches.

Draw
We're expecting a close and competitive game between Lecce and Fiorentina on Monday night, and have backed the contest to end in a draw. Lecce might be without a win in their last six matches but the hosts have drawn three of those games, two of which were at home. Fiorentina are scoring goals for fun in Europe but have lost their last two league games, failing to score on each occasion, so you can see just why we're going for a stalemate on Monday night.
Under 2.5 Goals
With the form of both clubs less than impressive, we're predicting a low-scoring 90-minutes at the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare. Under 2.5 goals have been produced in five of the last six meetings between Lecce and Fiorentina, while four of Lecce's last six outings along with two of Fiorentina's last three league games have also witnessed fewer than three goals scored.

Fiorentina hoping to bounce back from a heavy defeat against Lazio
Lecce knew they would be in for a tough 90-minutes away at Roma last time out and after just 6-minutes the visitors found themselves 1-0 down to a Smalling goal. Lecce responded well to their early setback and caused Roma problems on the break, eventually equalising through Strefezza just before the interval. However, an early second-half penalty from Dybala put Roma back into the lead and this time the hosts held on to secure all 3pts, despite the best efforts of their guests.
Lecce Predicted Lineup – Falcone, Umtiti, Baschirotto, Pezzella, Gendrey, Blin, Banda, Askildsen, Gonzàlez, Ceesay & Strefezza
Fiorentina had the home advantage against Lazio in their last league game, though, you wouldn't have known it. The visitors dominated the game from start to finish, going in at the break 2-0 up thanks to goals from Vecino and Zaccagni. Two further goals in the second forty-five from Alberto and Immobile helped wrap up a convincing 4-0 win for Lazio against a lacklustre Fiorentina side.
Fiorentina Predicted Lineup – Terracciano, Biraghi, Martínez, Dodô, Igor, Bonaventura, Amrabat, Mandragora, Ikoné, Jović & Kouamé
