Italy : Serie A - Lecce vs Roma

Lecce 🆚 AS Roma – Serie A Survival Battle at Stadio Via del Mare

Lecce in Freefall ⚠️

Relegation-threatened Lecce enter this match in crisis mode after a 2-1 defeat to Genoa before the international break marked their fourth consecutive Serie A loss. No team has fared worse in the last four rounds, with Lecce failing to earn a single point during that stretch. Their cushion above the drop zone has now shrunk to just three points, putting them in real danger.

Their struggles against top-tier opponents make things even worse, as Lecce have failed to win any of their 15 matches against teams currently in the top half of the table (D2, L13). The only positives came from home draws against Bologna (0-0) and Juventus (1-1), but heavy defeats have been a recurring issue—three of their last six losses came by 4+ goal margins. On the bright side, they ended a long home scoring drought by netting twice in a 3-2 loss to AC Milan.

Roma’s Top-Four Push Continues 🚀

AS Roma’s resurgence under Claudio Ranieri has been nothing short of remarkable. Their 1-0 win over Cagliari before the break extended their winning streak to six Serie A matches, and they now sit just four points away from the coveted top-four spots. A stunning turnaround since Ranieri’s arrival in November has seen them collect more points in 2025 (29) than any other side across Europe’s top-five leagues.

Losing Paulo Dybala for the remainder of the season due to surgery is a major blow, but Roma have shown resilience, winning their last three away games against relegation battlers Venezia, Parma, and Empoli—all by the same 1-0 scoreline. Against a struggling Lecce side, another disciplined performance should be enough to extend their winning streak.
