Lecce vs AS Roma Prediction

🔮 Expert Prediction

Roma heads to Lecce on Monday, and it feels like a trap game on paper, but Daniele De Rossi's side isn't playing like a team that falls into traps anymore. They’ve won six of their last eight Serie A matches, including a hard-fought 1-0 win over Sassuolo last time out, even without Paulo Dybala. Lecce, meanwhile, snapped a five-game winless streak by beating Salernitana 1-0 on March 16th, which was a huge result for them in the relegation scrap.

The key matchup will be how Lecce's defense handles Romelu Lukaku. He's got 10 league goals this season, and when he gets service, he's still lethal. Lecce has only scored 25 goals all season, the second-lowest in Serie A, so if they fall behind, it's tough to see them getting back in it. Roma simply has too much firepower and too much momentum. This one won't be pretty, but Roma will grind it out.

Roma wins 2-0.
