Lecce vs Roma Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips
Lecce vs Roma Preview
- Date – Monday, April 1
- Kick-off Time – 04:00 pm GMT
- Venue – Stadio Comunale Via del Mare
Lecce, who are 13th in the Serie A table will host fifth-placed AS Roma on Monday.
Despite being five places higher than the relegation zone, Lecce aren’t safe yet as just three points separate the 13th and 18th-placed Frosinone. They have just one win in their last six games, losing four of them. However, that win came in their last game against Salernitana.
Roma, meanwhile, are chasing Champions League football. They are fifth, three points behind Bologna. They have lost one of their last nine games across competitions and beat Sassuolo 1-0 in their last game.
Roma are also just a point above Atalanta so they will look to beat Lecce to continue to keep up the pressure but also to avoid slipping below fifth.

Lecce vs Roma Prediction
Lecce have just two wins in 13 games across competitions and are in the relegation battle despite being 13th in the Serie A standings. They will be desperate for points and will be boosted by their win over Salernitana.
Roma, however, have been excellent since Jose Mourinho’s sacking and Danielle de Rossi’s appointment. They have won four of their last games across competitions and have also reached the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals.
They are likely to keep up their momentum against Lecce.
Predicted Score: Lecce 1-3 Roma
