Roma enter this match with strong momentum after a dominant 4-0 opening victory against Fiorentina, whereas Lecce took maximum points from Venezia. The head-to-head record provides substantial backing for the visitors, as Roma have won eight and drawn two of the last ten meetings between the sides without suffering a single defeat. While Lecce kept a clean sheet in round one, Roma possess superior attacking depth and are well placed to leave with at least a point.

Match preview
Lecce welcome AS Roma to the Stadio Via del Mare for their second Serie A fixture of the campaign, with both teams coming off positive opening-day victories. Lecce secured a solid 2-0 away win at Venezia, while Roma made an emphatic statement with a 4-0 thrashing of Fiorentina.
Roma looked devastating in attack during their season opener, driven by D. Malen, who netted a hat-trick, and P. Dybala, who contributed three assists. However, the visitors are without L. Pellegrini and M. Bah due to injuries, which tests their midfield depth on their first away journey of the league season.
Historically, this fixture has heavily favoured the Giallorossi. Roma are unbeaten in their last ten head-to-head encounters with Lecce, recording eight wins and two draws across all competitions. While Lecce will aim to remain compact at home, matching Roma's firepower presents a significant challenge.
Key factors
- AS Roma are unbeaten in their last 10 meetings against Lecce, recording 8 victories and 2 draws.
- D. Malen scored 3 goals and P. Dybala provided 3 assists in Roma's 4-0 opening round victory over Fiorentina.
