Lecce come into the match on the back of a 1-0 win at bottom of the table Salernitana. The only goal of the game was scored in the 17th minute and Lecce prevented the hosts from scoring for the remainder of the match.
The win at Salernitana was the first victory for Lecce in their last 6 fixtures, all of which were played in Serie A.
There was a 1-1 draw at Frosinone but there have been defeats at Bologna and Torino plus at home to Inter Milan and Verona.
Statistics show Lecce have recorded just 3 wins from their 20 most recent Serie A games. They have lost 3 of their last 4 home league matches and have been struggling defensively.
Lecce are on a poor run of 11 home Serie A games in which they have allowed at least 1 goal and they have conceded a total of 10 goals in their last 4 Serie A matches on home soil.
Roma make the trip to the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare having beat Sassuolo 1-0 at home in Serie A prior to the international break.
With the score 0-0 at half time, Roma scored the only goal of the match in the 50th minute to take maximum points.
The win over Sassuolo was the first victory in 3 games in all competitions for Roma.
They lost 1-0 at Brighton in the Europa League but already had a commanding lead from the first leg and were held to a 2-2 at Frosinone in Serie A.
Trends show Roma are undefeated in their 5 most recent Serie A fixtures. There have been wins over Torino and Sassuolo at home plus Frosinone and Monza away.
Roma are undefeated in their last 4 away Serie A matches and have seen both teams score plus over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 league games on the road.
Roma have a good record against Lecce and have not lost in 19 of their last 20 encounters in Serie A.
Team news: Lecce are without the injured trio of Lameck Banda, Mohamed Kaba, and Kastriot Dermaku.
Roma travel without suspended midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini. Paulo Dybala, Renato Sanches, Chris Smalling, and Rasmus Nissen Kristensen are all in the treatment room and there are doubts over the fitness of Leonardo Spinazzola.
This game should see plenty of goals and we expect both teams to score and over 2.5 goals in total. Roma are in good form on the road in Serie A and it could be the away team who take maximum points.
