Lecce, Recent FormLecce will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-0 winners in their away fixture against Cremonese. Their share of possession in that meeting was 42%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Cremonese, who had 12 shots on goal with 3 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Marco Baroni will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. He will be concerned about his leaky defence after they have failed to keep a clean sheet at home for 10 games in a row. It's been rare for their fans not to have had something to shout about this season, with their team scoring in 9 out of 10 home games.
It's been a mixed run of form at Stadio Via del Mare for Lecce recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 home games. Their home form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 5 draws in 10 home league games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Lecce, Gabriel Strefezza will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Roma, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-0 home win over Empoli in their last league game, Roma will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. In that game they recorded 44 % of the possession, with 12 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 11 shots on goal.
Manager José Mourinho will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. Their run of scoring away from home now extends to 8 games. With 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches, they are proving that they are not easy to defeat.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
With 3 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Roma, Tammy Abraham will be looking to add more goals against Lecce in this match.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Roma running out winners in a match that ended 2-1.
Goals should be on the cards for i Giallorossi in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Lecce in their last 19 meetings together.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Roma has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Lecce in 3 games.
Lecce manager Marco Baroni has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Kastriot Dermaku (Hamstring), Youssef Maleh (Ankle) and Marin Pongračić (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
José Mourinho has a number of injury concerns in his Roma squad to contend with: Zeki Çelik (Thigh), Ebrima Darboe (Knee), Rick Karsdorp (Meniscus), Leonardo Spinazzola (Thigh) and Georginio Wijnaldum (Broken leg)
