Three Punchy Stats
- Roma have scored in 20 of their last 21 Serie A matches, a particularly uncomfortable trend for a Lecce side that has conceded in nine of its last 11 home league games.
- Lecce averaged just 0.7 goals per Serie A match last season, placing greater pressure on their defence whenever they face opponents capable of scoring regularly.
- Roma have won eight of their last 10 league games and three consecutive matches away from home, giving their 4-0 opening victory a wider foundation than a single strong performance.
Scoring Frequency Comparison
Recent attacking records for Lecce and Roma are shown below.
Clean Sheet Comparison
Recent defensive records for Lecce and Roma are shown below.
Roma dismantled Fiorentina 4-0, while Lecce survived a difficult afternoon at Venezia despite their opponents controlling possession and having two goals disallowed.
That contrast matters more than the identical league records. Roma have carried strong domestic form into the new campaign, whereas Lecce’s victory extended their winning league run to three without resolving the attacking concerns that followed them through last season. Eusebio Di Francesco’s side now face an opponent with far more evidence of sustained threat.
Roma’s Attack Has Picked Up Where It Left Off
Donyell Malen’s hat-trick against Fiorentina immediately gave Roma’s opening win a focal point, but Paulo Dybala’s contribution was just as revealing. He created all three of Malen’s goals, while Niccolo Pisilli supplied the fourth.
One emphatic result cannot define a season, yet it sits within a much longer attacking sequence. Roma have scored in 20 of their last 21 league games and won eight of their previous 10 Serie A matches, losing only once. Add three consecutive away victories and Gian Piero Gasperini’s side arrive with several trends pointing in the same direction rather than relying on one spectacular opening night.
Malen and Dybala are expected to continue together despite competition from Santiago Castro. After combining so effectively against Fiorentina, that continuity gives Lecce an immediate problem.
Lecce’s Winning Run Needs Context
Three straight Serie A victories equals Lecce’s best top-flight winning sequence, and another success would give them two wins from their first two league matches for the first time.
There is still reason for caution. Venezia dominated possession in the opening game and had two goals ruled out before Lecce scored twice after half-time. The result deserves credit; treating it as evidence of control would be harder to justify.
Their broader attacking record adds another concern. Lecce averaged only 0.7 goals per league match last season, and new forward Willem Geubbels is still searching for his first goal. Against opponents who have scored in almost every recent league fixture, limited attacking production leaves very little room for defensive mistakes.
The Home Numbers Offer Roma Another Opening
Lecce conceded in nine of their last 11 Serie A home matches, a record that sits awkwardly beside Roma’s current scoring consistency. The hosts have also won their opening home league fixture only once in their previous six top-flight campaigns.
Di Francesco has another difficult trend to reverse. Across 16 Serie A meetings with Roma he has collected only three points and lost each of the last 10. Roma themselves have won the last three meetings with Lecce without conceding, while Lecce’s most recent league victory in this fixture came in April 2012.
Those records do not decide Monday’s match, but they reinforce the more immediate evidence rather neatly.
Selection Issues Could Test Lecce’s Resistance
Antonino Gallo is a concern after suffering a heavy blow to the cheekbone against Venezia, with Corrie Ndaba available to deputise. Medon Berisha is also doubtful.
Roma have fitness and selection questions of their own. Devyne Rensch has been affected by a flexor problem, while Emanuele Lulli and Nahuel Molina are competing for selection. Robinio Vaz, who scored the winner against Lecce in March, has missed training while nearing a move to Hull City.
Roma’s depth nevertheless appears capable of supporting an attack already functioning efficiently.
Roma’s Advantage Is More Than the Opening Scoreline
Lecce deserve recognition for turning a difficult opener into a victory, but Roma bring the stronger combination of recent form, attacking reliability and away momentum. The hosts’ three-match winning run is impressive; the harder question is whether their underlying attacking output can keep pace if Roma reproduce anything close to the fluency shown against Fiorentina.

🎯 Pick 1: Roma to win @ 40/85
Roma enter this encounter with substantial momentum built on a sustained sequence of league results. Winning eight of their past 10 Serie A fixtures and claiming three straight victories on the road demonstrates consistent performance across home and away venues. Their opening 4-0 success against Fiorentina, where Donyell Malen scored three goals from Paulo Dybala passes, showcased immediate attacking fluency. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have now scored in 20 of their last 21 top-flight matches, establishing a reliable scoring output that forms the foundation for securing three points at Stadio Via del Mare.
Lecce secured a victory against Venezia in their opening fixture, but that result required defensive resistance rather than match dominance. Venezia held the majority of possession and had two goals disallowed before Lecce scored twice in the second period. That pattern of play becomes concerning when set against Lecce’s broader home metrics, as they have conceded in nine of their previous 11 Serie A fixtures on home turf. Furthermore, Lecce averaged only 0.7 goals per league match last season, meaning any defensive lapse against a frequent scoring opponent puts severe pressure on an attack still integrating new forward Willem Geubbels.
Lecce are currently on a three-match winning run in Serie A, matching their best top-flight streak, while Roma face selection checks with Devyne Rensch recovering from a flexor issue. However, head-to-head precedent strongly favours the visitors, as Lecce manager Eusebio Di Francesco has taken just three points from 16 career Serie A meetings with Roma, losing the last 10. Combined with Roma winning the last three head-to-head encounters without conceding, the visitors possess the clearer path to victory.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Roma have won eight of their previous 10 Serie A matches and secured three consecutive away victories in the league.
- Lecce conceded in nine of their last 11 Serie A home fixtures and averaged 0.7 goals per match across last season.
- Roma have scored in 20 of their last 21 top-flight games, including a 4-0 victory against Fiorentina in their opening match.
Risk Factor: Lecce's three-match winning run could be challenged if Roma's attack does not maintain its recent scoring form.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Scored in 20 of last 21 league games with 3 straight away wins and a 4-0 opening victory.
Conceded in 9 of last 11 Serie A home matches and surrendered heavy possession against Venezia.
⚔️ Pick 2: Lecce vs Roma 0-2 @ 5/1
A 2-0 away victory requires Roma to score twice while maintaining defensive resistance throughout 90 minutes. Roma’s goalscoring baseline is supported by finding the net in 20 of their past 21 Serie A fixtures and putting four goals past Fiorentina in their season opener. Lecce’s defensive record at Stadio Via del Mare adds weight to the visitor’s goal projection, having conceded in nine of their last 11 home league games. With Donyell Malen and Paulo Dybala combining effectively in attack, Roma possess sufficient attacking volume to score at least twice against a backline that surrendered heavy possession to Venezia.
The zero element for Lecce relies on their documented difficulty in generating goals against top-tier opponents. Lecce averaged a modest 0.7 goals per game across the previous Serie A campaign, and main forward Willem Geubbels has yet to register his first goal for the club. Historical context supports this defensive projection, as Roma have won the last three meetings between these sides without conceding a single goal. Additionally, Lecce’s victory over Venezia featured two disallowed goals for the opposition, indicating that their backline remains exposed despite keeping a clean sheet in that specific fixture.
Selection doubts over Antonino Gallo following a cheekbone injury could further disrupt Lecce’s defensive setup, though Roma must manage fitness concerns for Devyne Rensch. While Lecce scored twice in the second half against Venezia, exact scoreline selections remain fragile to late goals or minor defensive errors. Nevertheless, a 2-0 outcome aligns directly with recent head-to-head shutting out trends and Roma’s superior away form.
Risk Factor: A single goal by Lecce or an additional late goal by Roma will void the exact 0-2 prediction.
