Comments and predictions for Lecce vs Roma: The away team has a neat move

Latest Lecce vs Roma squad information

After undergoing surgery to treat a thigh injury sustained in the match against Cagliari, Roma's star player Paulo Dybala had to say goodbye for the rest of the season - a big loss for the capital team's ambition to qualify for the European Cup.

In that context, Dybala’s compatriot – Matias Soule – is in good form and is likely to be chosen to support Artem Dovbyk in attack. In addition, Stephan El Shaarawy, Tommaso Baldanzi and captain Lorenzo Pellegrini are also alternatives worth considering.

On the two wings, Roma also has many difficulties in terms of personnel when Saud Abdulhamid, Anass Salah-Eddine and Devyne Rensch are all absent due to injury. Zeki Celik is doubtful of playing, so Angelino and Alexis Saelemaekers are the two most promising names for the wing position.

Meanwhile, Lecce has almost full squad, with only the long-term injury of Filip Marchwinski absent. Coach Marco Giampaolo will therefore have many personnel options to rotate the squad.

If Dovbyk is Roma's biggest hope in attack, Nikola Krstovic is almost the only one keeping Lecce from freefall. The Montenegrin striker has scored double figures in Serie A this season, and will likely leave Via del Mare even if the team successfully avoids relegation.

Lecce vs Roma latest expected lineup

Lecce:
Falcone; Guilbert, Baschirotto, Jean, Gallo; Coulibaly, Berisha; Pierotti, Helgason, Morente; Krstovic

Roma:
Svilar; Mancini, Hummels, Ndicka; Saelemaekers, Kone, Paredes, Angelino; Soule, Pellegrini; Dovbyk

Latest Lecce vs Roma football review

After quickly overcoming the disappointment of being eliminated from the Europa League, Roma went into the final international break of the season with a 1-0 win over Cagliari, with Artem Dovbyk scoring the only goal of the game in the second half at the Stadio Olimpico.

Dovbyk is one of the players who has shone under interim boss Claudio Ranieri. Since the 73-year-old took over, the striker’s Serie A goalscoring rate has improved significantly – from a goal every 239 minutes to one every 159 – and he has also added his first two assists of the season.

After a disappointing start, Ranieri has brought Roma back to life. In 2025 alone, the team has won 29 points, with an impressive record: nine wins and two draws after 11 rounds.

This is the best run in 2025 among Europe's top five leagues, and only Paris Saint-Germain have the same number of wins as Roma over this period.

With a run of six consecutive wins in Serie A – their first in nine years – Roma have closed the gap on Bologna, Juventus and arch-rivals Lazio in the standings, while also leapfrogging Fiorentina and AC Milan.

Thanks to that impressive form, Roma still have many goals to aim for in the final rounds of Ranieri's reign, before the team officially appoints a head coach in the summer.

Back in the race for Champions League qualification, Roma are on a four-game winning streak away from home in Serie A – and now face a trip to a favourite.

Lecce suffered a heavy 1-4 defeat to Roma in the first leg in the capital. In a total of 37 encounters between the two teams in Serie A, Lecce have won just two matches, while losing 25.

Not only is history against them, Lecce are also in a terrible run of form – in complete contrast to Roma's rise.

Marco Giampaolo's side are in desperate need of points to avoid relegation after picking up just two points from their last six games. A 2-1 defeat to Genoa just before the international break left them 17th in the table.

Nikola Krstovic continued to score – he has scored Lecce's last three goals and accounts for 48% of the team's total Serie A goals this season – but that still could not help them pick up a point at the Marassi.

Lecce have now hit their worst losing streak since February-April 2023 with six consecutive games without a win. If they lose again, it will be the first time coach Giampaolo has lost five consecutive Serie A games.

Worse, they have yet to win at home in 2025, and no team has scored fewer goals at home than them since the start of the year – just two. Facing a rising Roma side will be a huge test.
