Lecce vs Roma predictions: Goals at both ends
Key stats
- Both teams were on the scoresheet in five of Lecce's last seven clashes with Roma.
- Roma are unbeaten in their last nine meetings with Lecce.
- Lecce have won only two of their nine home games in Serie A this season.
Correct score prediction: Lecce 1-2 Roma
Roma have almost thrice as many wins as Lecce in the Italian top flight this season, and although Gian Piero Giasperini’s troops have had their fair share of struggles on the road, they have dominated Lecce in the past, winning seven of the last nine H2Hs.
While we expect a tightly contested affair, we are leaning toward Roma for the win.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Bookies favour Roma
- HOME: 9/2 (5.50) – 18.2%

*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
AS Roma’s 1-0 defeat away against Atalanta last weekend was their third consecutive loss on the road in Serie A. I Giallorossi have not been particularly impressive in front of goal lately, failing to score in three of their last six league games.
On the other hand, Lecce are coming off a 1-1 draw against Juventus and have a modest 2-1-2 win-draw-loss record in their last five matches.
At the time of publishing, Roma and Lecce are fifth and 16th in Serie A, respectively.
Ahead of this skirmish, Roma are the expected winners at 7/10 (1.70). Teams with these odds generally have a 58.8% probability of winning.
