Lecce vs AS Roma Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Serie A 2025-26

Two of the last five games between these clubs have ended in a draw.

Lecce are now gearing up to host AS Roma for their matchweek 19 fixture of the 2025-26 Serie A. These clubs are going to put up an interesting outing here, which will take place at the Stadio Ettore Giardiniero.

US Lecce will be at home for their next league game, and it is going to be an advantage for them. They were held to a 1-1 draw by Juventus in their previous fixture.

Despite being at home, the upcoming match is not going to be an easy one for the hosts. Lecce have been inconsistent with their performances, and this might become an issue for them.

AS Roma are coming in after facing a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Atalanta BC in their previous league fixture. The loss in the previous outing surely did put a slight dent in their title chase.

The Lupi are now in fifth place on the Serie A points table. A win in the next outing can be a crucial one for their cause.
