A convincing victory over Inter (3-0) gave Fiorentina the opportunity to savor success. However, after that, the “Violas” played three matches and lost each of them, even though the level of the opponents was not very high. In the previous round, the team lost to Verona without scoring (0-1), who are near the relegation zone. Moreover, Fiorentina did not look any better than the “Mastiffs” in terms of play, with equal statistics in all parameters. As a result, Raffaele Palladino’s team not only dropped out of the top 4 but also fell to sixth place, trailing Juventus by 7 points. Additionally, in the last game, Moise Kean, the club’s top scorer (15+2), lost consciousness. And even without him, the “Violas” have many squad issues – 6 more players will not play, including Amir Richardson.
Lecce is facing a very unpleasant series. The team has been unable to secure a victory in three consecutive matches, and in each of them, they failed to break through the opponents’ defense. The last game ended in a home defeat against a not-so-serious opponent like Udinese (0-1). Over 90 minutes, the “Salentians” made 10 shots and managed only 0.32 goals according to the xG metric. Their defensive play cannot be called successful either, as Marco Giampaolo’s squad could have conceded three goals into their own net. Nevertheless, Lecce continues to hold onto a comfortable 16th place. As for the upcoming encounter, the coaching staff will not be able to count on 4 players, including Thorir Johann Helgason.
