Lecce take on the visitors Fiorentina in the round 23 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, February 2nd at Stadio Via del Mare (Lecce).
Lecce had two undoubtedly successful previous seasons. They managed to first promote to Serie A after a break and then secured a 16th-place finish. Yes, they only collected modest 36 points, but the important thing is that the outsiders noticeably lagged behind. Moreover, it's worth noting that the previous attempt to achieve this was unsuccessful. In the summer, the architect of this achievement, Baroni, moved to Verona. Seemingly, the project even gained from this change, as his namesake, D'Aversa, who replaced Roberto, started in a new position with a passage against Como in the cup and 11 points in the first 5 rounds of Serie A. Who could have predicted then that they would only secure 1 victory, against Frosinone in mid-December? They were eliminated from the cup by the former charges of their current coach, Parma. By the way, after the 2-1 with the Canaries, everything fell apart completely, and the team lost to everyone except the modest Cagliari, with whom they drew. There were chances to draw with Genoa, but in the end, the Grifoni won 2-1.

Fiorentina continues to progress. Viola had a not-so-good period. An attempt to break out of the stagnation was a bet on Italiano. Vincenzo made a name for himself as a coach, leading Spezia to promotion to Serie A and keeping them there. However, there were doubts about whether he could handle more ambitious tasks. Nevertheless, already in the first season, during which they sold the goal-scoring Vlahovic, the Purple climbed to 7th place. In the 2022/2023 season, they reached the finals of both the country's cup and the Conference League. They lost both decisive matches, and also slightly stumbled in Serie A. However, Juventus' disqualification allowed them to play in Europe again. There, Florence's representative reached the playoffs and, albeit with difficulty, eliminated Bologna in the Italian Cup, advancing to the semi-finals. They also managed to secure the fourth place in Serie A. However, January didn't go well. The 0-0 with Bologna had a happy ending, but in the league, there was a defeat to Sassuolo and a dramatic draw with Udinese. A trip to Saudi Arabia for the Super Cup resulted in a 0-3 loss to the unstable Napoli. It went better against Inter, but the opponent scored the only goal.
The 2-2 draw early in the season continued an interesting trend: the fourth match with a draw alternates strictly with victories for the Viola. The Viola need a victory, and a match against such an opponent, even away, provides an excellent chance for success. Here, we bet that the visitors will win.
Prediction for the match: Fiorentina to win.
