Form
AS Roma
Roma has struggled recently, going winless in five matches across all competitions and conceding over two goals per game during this period.
Most recently, they lost 4-3 after extra time to Bologna in the Europa League, which ended their run in the tournament.
Lecce
Lecce has shown some improvement with three wins in their last six Serie A matches, boosting their efforts to avoid relegation, although a recent 2-1 loss to Napoli underscored their issues away from home.
The team is currently just above the relegation zone but has been gaining enough points to challenge teams higher up the table.
Predicted lineups
AS Roma: Svilar; Mancini, Ndicka, Ghilardi; Celik, Cristante, El Aynaoui, Tsimikas; Pisilli, Pellegrini; Malen
Lecce: Falcone; Veiga, Gabriel, Siebert, Gallo; Ramadani, Ngom; Pierotti, Gandelman, Banda; Stulic
