Head-to-Head History & Trends
Historical trends heavily favor the Giallorossi. Roma are currently on a four-game winning streak against Lecce across all competitions and have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three head-to-head encounters. Furthermore, in their last five visits to Lecce’s home turf, Roma remain undefeated with a 3-2-0 record. Lecce’s last home victory against Roma dates back to April 2012 (4-2).
- Under 2.5 goals scored in the last 3 H2H matches.

Roma delivered a statement performance on opening day, showing lethal efficiency in front of goal. While Lecce will set up deep to absorb pressure and rely on Falcone’s heroics once again, Roma’s firepower led by Malen and Dybala should eventually break down the host’s resistance. We expect Roma to control the tempo and secure back-to-back victories.
