Lecce’s Fight for Survival
Lecce currently sit 17th in the Serie A table, just three points clear of the relegation zone. Marco Giampaolo’s side is enduring a difficult period, having lost four consecutive matches before the international break. Their last victory came against Parma on January 31st, and since then, they’ve managed to score only three goals—all from Nikola Krstovic.
The Montenegrin striker has been Lecce’s lifeline this season, contributing ten goals and three assists. He’s responsible for an impressive 48% of Lecce’s total Serie A goals, making him crucial to their survival hopes.
Roma’s Remarkable Revival
Under Claudio Ranieri’s guidance, Roma have experienced a remarkable transformation. Currently sitting 7th in the league but just four points behind 4th-placed Bologna, the Giallorossi are serious contenders for a Champions League spot—something that seemed impossible earlier this season.
Roma enter this match on a six-game winning streak in Serie A, their best run in nine years. They’ve collected 29 points in 2025 with nine wins and two draws from 11 league matches—the best record across Europe’s top five leagues this calendar year.
Team News and Injuries
Lecce: Marco Giampaolo will likely field the same lineup that lost to Genoa before the international break. Filip Marchwinski remains the only long-term absentee.
Roma: Paulo Dybala’s season-ending injury is a significant blow to Roma’s European ambitions. Matías Soulé may support Artem Dovbyk in attack, with Lorenzo Pellegrini, Stephan El Shaarawy, and Tommaso Baldanzi also competing for starting positions. Wing-backs Saud Abdulhamid, Anass Salah-Eddine, and Devyne Rensch are sidelined, while Zeki Celik’s availability remains uncertain.
Lecce vs Roma: Predicted Lineups
Lecce (4-3-3): Falcone; Guilbert, Baschirotto, Jean, Gallo; Coulibaly, Berisha, Helgason; Pierotti, Krstovic, Morente
Roma (3-4-2-1): Svilar; Mancini, Hummels, Ndicka; Saelemaekers, Koné, Cristante, Angelino; Soulé, Pellegrini; Dovbyk
Lecce vs Roma: Match Prediction
Despite the international break potentially disrupting Roma’s momentum, their excellent form should carry them through. Lecce have struggled at home this season, failing to win at the Via del Mare in 2025 and scoring just two goals as hosts this calendar year.
Roma’s historical dominance in this fixture—Lecce have won only two of 37 Serie A meetings with Roma—further tilts the odds in the visitors’ favor. Expect Roma to continue their winning streak with a controlled performance.
Prediction: Lecce 0-2 Roma
