Italian Serie A

2009-05-24 - Lecce vs Fiorentina

A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Analysis:

Both sides have everything to play for here as Fiorentina who are currently in excellent form, are looking to overtake Juventus to third spot. Lecce on the other hand, needs a win here to have any hopes of keeping alive their slim hopes of survival.

Lecce are almost certain to play in Serie B after Bologna scored in the 94th minute which even though should have been ruled out, but the truth of the matter is that they have not been good enough this season.

Gigi De Canio went on record to state that they will now fight on with dignity and honour while at the same time preparing to accept their final fate that is handed to them.

Meanwhile, Fiorentina comes into this match on a high after the 1-0 win over Sampdoria meant that they are now five points ahead of Genoa and are now only a step away from playing in the Champions League.
And what more with Juventus on a slide having failed to beat Atalanta, means they are only a point ahead of Fiorentina in the race for the final Champions League spot.

Cesare Prandelli admitted this match is difficult as Lecce are playing to win as they are fighting for survival. But their last few games they have managed to find a formation which gives them more strength and stability within the team.

Lecce are set to miss two players due to suspension. And they are the likes of Cedric Konan and Dimitrios Papadopoulos. Fabio Caserta will start this match from the start rather than Luca Ariatti, while Daniele Cacia will sit on the bench.

The visitors Fiorentina are without the likes of Adrian Mutu going into this match. Stevan Jovetic who showed some brilliant touched will fill in. Gianluca Comotto will start in defence here while Dario Dainelli who is not fully fit is likely to be replaced by Per Kroldrup. Also out of this clash will be Zdravko Kuzmanovic who is injured.

Watch out for Alberto Gilardino to score at some point in the match for Fiorentina.

Take Fiorentina and give the 3/4 ball away here.

Cheers and good luck,
Cruiser
