Serie A 2025-2026: Lecce-Fiorentina, the probable formations

The match scheduled for Monday at 8:45 p.m. at the “Via del Mare” between Lecce and Fiorentina closes the 33rd day of Serie A. It is a crucial salvation clash for the Salentini, who currently find themselves third-last, overtaken by Cremonese after the draw earned by the grigiorossi on Sunday against Torino. The team coached by Eusebio Di Francesco knows that tonight they are playing an important slice of their future: a victory would not only allow them to overtake the Lombardi, but also to regain morale after a month of only defeats.

The violets, although burned by the elimination in the Conference League in the double clash with Crystal Palace, can count on a good moment of form in the league and a reassuring ranking. In fact, the Tuscan team is at +8 right from the Salentini; a gap that, although it does not yet guarantee mathematical salvation, allows fans to sleep relatively peaceful dreams.

Di Francesco, for this evening, will not be able to count on the ex of the match Sottil and Fofana both struggling with injuries. As for the lineup, the irreplaceable Falcone will act between the posts, Tiago Gabriel and Siebert central defense, Coulibaly and Ramadani will be the midfielders shielding the defense, forward Pierotti and Banda are the favorites on the flanks. Stulic more than Cheddira as the offensive terminal.

Vanoli must still do without his bomber Moise Kean because of a shin problem, and Parisi because of a right foot problem. The Lombard coach relies on De Gea between the posts, Dodò and Gosens as full-backs, Fagioli in the box with Mandragora and Ndour on either side of him, forward Piccoli the only forward with Gudmundsson supporting him.

Probable lineups

LECCE (4-2-3-1): Falcone; Veiga, Siebert, Tiago Gabriel, Gallo; Coulibaly, Ramadani; Pierotti, Gandelman, Banda; Stulic. All. Di Francesco.

FIORENTINA (4-3-3): De Gea; Dodò, Rugani, Ranieri, Gosens; Mandragora, Fagioli, Ndour; Solomon, Piccoli, Gudmundsson. All. Vanoli.
