✅ Stats before the game: Roma have won eight of their last nine Serie A games against Lecce (scoring an average of 2.4 goals per game), the only exception being a 4-2 by the Apulians on 7 April 2012. After winning their first ever away match against Roma in Serie A (3-2 on April 20, 1986), Lecce did not find success in any of the following 15 (2N, 13P).
Roma could obtain three wins against newly promoted teams in the first 10 league days for the third time in their history in Serie A, after 1997/98 and 2004/05 (when, however, the teams from B faced were five). Roma have lost only one of their last 11 home games in Serie A (6W, 4N), the most recent, against Atalanta – the Giallorossi have not recorded two consecutive home knockouts in the league since January 2020. Lecce have drawn four of their first eight games in a Serie A season for the first time in their history; the Apulian team in general finished in a draw four of the last six matches in the top flight (1W, 1L), as many as the previous 29 (including the previous participation).
👉 Lineup AS ROMA (3-4-2-1):Rui Patricio; Mancini, Smalling, Ibanez; Zalewski, Pellegrini, Cristante, Vina; Dybala, Zaniolo; Belotti.
👉 Lineup LECCE (4-3-3): Falcone; Gendrey, Pongracic, Umtiti, Pezzella; Gonzalez, Hjulmand, Askildsen; Strefezza, Ceesay, Banda.
