Lecce
- Lecce have lost three of their last five Serie A matches, including a 0-3 home loss to Como.
- Eusebio Di Francesco’s men have had a mixed home record so far in 2025/2026, winning only two of their nine, but they did get a 1-0 win over Pisa recently at Stadio Via del Mare.
- Lecce have scored only 0.67 goals per home game in Serie A 2025/2026 and have lost four of nine.
- Lecce are 16th with 16 points from 16 games, a huge gulf in the Serie A standings.
AS Roma
- AS Roma have won three of their last five Serie A games, including a 3-1 victory over Genoa 3 days ago.
- Fourth-placed Roma have amassed 33 points from their 17 games so far in the 2025/2026 season.
- A 3-4-2-1 formation is their standard structure, but they have also adapted it into a 3-4-1-2 at times to give their wing-backs greater freedom to join the attack and to create numerical superiority on the flanks.
- AS Roma have conceded just 0.75 goals per game on the road in Serie A 2025/2026, winning five of their eight away matches.
Head-to-Head
It adds up to a home team that is likely to be outclassed by a Roma side that have a superior overall form, a better head-to-head record and the tactical advantage.
Key Players
- Lecce’s best player is Konan N’Dri, who is also their top scorer in Serie A 2025/2026 with two goals from 11 appearances.
- Roma, on the other hand, have Matias Soule on five goals in 17 games while Evan Ferguson has netted three of Roma's last seven goals, so the visitors have the greater attacking threat.
Betting Insights
- Roma are 1.77 favorites to win this game and Lecce are a massive 5.78 underdogs, which reflects the gulf between these two clubs in Serie A at the moment.
- With Lecce not likely to score and Roma not conceding many goals, we think ‘Under 2.5 goals’ at 1.64 could be a smart play for this matchup.
Prediction
Roma have the offensive talent to break through Lecce’s central compactness and should win.
