DDLLLL 📉

Lecce will be looking for an improved result here after the 2-1 Serie A losing effort in their last game against Genoa.

In that match, Lecce managed 56% possession and 15 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Lecce was Nikola Krstović (68'). For their opponents, Genoa got 8 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Fabio Miretti (16', 45') scored for Genoa.

Leading up to this clash, Lecce:

• have not registered a win against Roma in their previous 7 league matches.

📋 Team News: Lecce

Joan González (heart problems) and Filip Marchwinski (Cruciate ligament tear) aren’t available for Lecce boss Marco Giampaolo.

We think that Giallorossi may well make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation this time, beginning the first half with Wladimiro Falcone, Frederic Guilbert, Federico Baschirotto, Kialonda Gaspar, Antonino Gallo, Lassana Coulibaly, Ylber Ramadani, Santiago Pierotti, Thorir Helgason, Jesper Karlsson and Nikola Krstovic.

ℹ️ Team News: Roma

Roma boss Claudio Ranieri has not got a full squad to pick from. Devyne Rensch (Muscle injury), Saud Abdulhamid (Hamstring injury) and Paulo Dybala (Tendon rupture) can’t be considered.

It’s our belief that i Giallorossi seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-4-2 system using Mile Svilar, Gianluca Mancini, Mats Hummels, Evan N'Dicka, Alexis Saelemaekers, Kouadio Kone, Bryan Cristante, Angelino, Matias Soule, Lorenzo Pellegrini and Artem Dovbyk.

💡 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Lecce may find it difficult to score goals against this Roma team who we think should score one, at least.

That’s why we have predicted a good battle with a 0-1 winning score for Roma at the end of the match.

Should be interesting.
