Fiorentina vs Lecce Predictions

• Fiorentina have won six successive games in all competitions, going unbeaten in their last eight.
• The Viola have scored 20 times in their last eight matches.
• Lecce have lost three successive games, losing back-to-back matches 2-0 to Inter Milan and Torino.

Viola carry European form into Serie A

Just a few weeks ago, Fiorentina’s Serie A campaign looked to be taking a backseat to their efforts to win the Coppa Italia and the Europa Conference League, but convincing European successes against Braga and Sivasspor appear to have breathed new life into their domestic campaign as well. Vincenzo Italiano’s men are unbeaten in eight matches across all competitions ahead of Sunday’s meeting with Lecce, for which the Viola are clear favourites.

Fiorentina have won their last six matches after trouncing Sivasspor 4-1 in the second leg of their Conference League last-16 tie on Thursday, a victory which set up a quarter-final against Lech Poznan. The Viola have scored 20 goals and conceded just five across their eight-game unbeaten stretch, while they sealed a third successive Serie A triumph by beating Cremonese last week. At home, Fiorentina have the joint-eighth best points return (19) in Serie A this season, making it difficult to see past them against Lecce.

Marco Baroni’s visitors retain a nine-point cushion over those inside the bottom three, but they have lost three games on the spin following their 2-0 home reverse against Torino last week. Lecce have failed to net in all three of those defeats, suggesting their league-low expected goals figures may finally be catching up with them, while they have kept just one clean sheet in nine games since early January.

Vibrant Viola set for victory

With Fiorentina in excellent form and netting multiple goals in six of their last seven victories, we’re advising punters to back a home win featuring over 1.5 goals on Sunday, securing additional value while keeping plenty of scorelines in play.

Meanwhile, a third successive 2-0 reverse could loom for Lecce, with the home frontline of Arthur Cabral, Jonathan Ikone and Nicolas Gonzalez capable of doing real damage.
