Lecce started their Serie A campaign with an impressive 2-0 away win over Venezia and will now be aiming to win their opening two league matches of a season for the first time.
After ending last season with two victories to secure their top-flight status and an opening-day win, Eusebio Di Francesco’s side should head into this clash full of confidence.
However, history is not on their side when it comes to facing Roma, as they have lost their last four games in a row.
One of their main aims in this clash will be to end their miserable five-game winless run against the visitors at the Stadio Via del Mare.
Meanwhile, Roma arrive in even stronger form, having won their last six Serie A matches following a convincing 4-0 victory over Fiorentina on matchday one.
Five of those victories came with clean sheets, while Gian Piero Gasperini’s side will be looking to make it seven league wins in a row.
Three consecutive away victories to end last season suggest Roma are more than capable of extending that run.
Also, Roma’s strong recent record against Lecce should give them plenty of confidence as they look to build on the matchday one victory that sent them to the top of the table.

Roma enter this Serie A encounter as clear favourites to earn all three points away from home, and we are predicting a hard-fought 0-1 victory for the away side.
The hosts have enjoyed significant head-to-head dominance over Lecce in recent seasons and will look to extend the record.
Also, the home side has struggled to stop the visitors from scoring, which makes the away team strong favourites to win.
Based on recent head-to-head records, the bookmakers have made Roma favourites at 1/2 (1.50) to get the victory.
A draw is priced at 3/1 (4.00), while a home win for Lecce is offered at 6/1 (7.00), establishing them as distinct underdogs.
Also, under 2.5 goals is priced at 18/25 (1.72), while both teams to score (no) is available at 61/100 (1.61) odds, and a first-half draw stands at 6/5 (2.20) odds.
