Lecce vs Roma Prediction

Roma are in excellent form. The Giallorossi have won each of their last six Serie A matches. In every one of those games, Roma scored at least two goals. Following an impressive 4-0 victory over Fiorentina in the opening round of Serie A 2026/27, Roma currently sit second in the table, just behind Milan. However, another win away at Lecce could see the capital club overtake the San Siro side and move to the top of the standings. Roma will therefore be highly motivated when they face Lecce. Despite playing away from home, Gian Piero Gasperini's side have plenty of reasons to believe they can claim another victory. First of all, Roma have shown no fear on the road, winning convincingly in their last three away matches. More importantly, Roma have historically performed well when visiting Lecce. In their last 12 Serie A away games against Lecce, Roma have recorded six wins, five draws and just one defeat. In the most recent return fixture between the two sides in Serie A 2025/26, played in January this year, Roma secured a 2-0 victory over Lecce. Lecce have not been in particularly poor form recently. They have lost only one of their last four competitive matches. In the opening round of this Serie A season, they beat hosts Venezia 2-0. However, that result alone is not enough to convince supporters that Lecce can spring a surprise against Roma in the upcoming fixture. It is worth remembering that Lecce have rarely been a dominant home side. According to the statistics, in their last 11 Serie A matches at home, Lecce have won just three, drawn two and suffered six defeats. There is little doubt that Roma hold a significant advantage ahead of this clash with Lecce. It would not be surprising if the visitors from the capital secured a victory by two or more goals.
