🇮🇹  Fiorentina won the Serie A Week 27 match on Friday, February 28, 2025, at the Artemio Franchi Stadium in Florence, Italy. Fiorentina celebrates a much-needed victory after suffering three straight losses, temporarily moving ahead of Bologna to claim 6th place with 45 points. Meanwhile, Giampaolo’s squad remains stuck at 25 points, sitting in 16th place. Lecce is still struggling to find the back of the net. The last time the Salento team scored was during their match against Parma at the Tardini on January 31st.

Lecce is in desperate need of a victory to avoid falling into the relegation zone, as they have 25 points, just 4 points ahead of Empoli, who are in 18th place with 21 points.

Fiorentina secured a close victory over Lecce with a goal from Gosens just nine minutes into the first half. The match ended with a dramatic brawl, where Beltran struck the woodwork twice, and Danilo Veiga had a golden opportunity for the Giallorossi. In the closing moments, Lecce pushed forward, but Gudmundsson squandered a counterattack, leaving the match unresolved.

Palladino’s squad is set to take on Panathinaikos in the first leg of the Conference League round of 16, followed by a challenging match against Napoli at the Maradona in the upcoming championship round. The following matchday, they will welcome Milan to the Stadio Via del Mare.

The match …

Fiorentina struck first in the 9th minute when Robin Gosens found the net with a well-placed header into the bottom right corner. Dodô provided the assist with a fantastic cross to the far post, allowing the German winger to leap perfectly and direct the ball past goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone.

Stats before the game

Fiorentina secured a dominant victory in the first leg against Lecce, winning 6-0 on October 20, 2024. This sets them up for a chance to defeat the Salentini in both Serie A matches this season, something they haven’t achieved since the 2005/06 season. That year marked the only time the Viola managed to win consecutive games against the Giallorossi in the league. Following the heavy 6-0 loss in the first leg, Lecce faces the possibility of allowing at least seven goals to a single opponent in a Serie A season for the first time since the 2019/20 season, when they conceded 10 goals across their two matches against Atalanta.

Lecce are unbeaten in five of their last six away games against Fiorentina in Serie A (W3 D2), including the most recent (2-2, 27 August 2023), having lost five of their previous five away games against the Viola in the competition (W1).
