Lecce vs Fiorentina Match Preview: Serie A Showdown

Lecce host Fiorentina at Stadio Via del Mare on 20 April 2026 in Serie A, Regular Season - 33. Lecce come into the fixture sitting 18th with 27 points and a goal difference of -24, firmly in the relegation zone. Fiorentina travel as the 15th-placed side on 35 points with a goal difference of -7, looking to edge further away from danger.

Lecce Availability

Lecce face a lengthy absentee list.

  • M. Berisha (Thigh Injury) is sidelined.
  • F. Camarda (Shoulder Injury) is sidelined.
  • S. Fofana (Inactive) is sidelined.
  • K. Gaspar (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
  • R. Sottil (Back Injury) is doubtful.

These absences hit both midfield and attack, limiting rotation options for a side that has scored just 21 league goals in 32 matches.

Fiorentina Availability

Fiorentina also have concerns.

  • T. Lamptey (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
  • F. Parisi (Inactive) is sidelined.
  • M. Brescianini (Injury) is doubtful.
  • N. Fortini (Back Injury) is doubtful.
  • M. Kean (Calf Injury) is doubtful.

M. Kean, with 8 goals and 1 assist in Serie A, is a top scorer for Fiorentina and his potential absence would be a major blow to their attacking threat.

Impact Summary

Lecce’s missing players mainly reduce depth rather than proven scoring, for a team already struggling in front of goal. Fiorentina risk losing significantly more attacking output if M. Kean does not feature, potentially narrowing the gap between the sides despite their stronger overall scoring record of 37 goals.
