Serie A · 2Lecce vs Roma Preview
Lecce kicked off their 2026-27 Serie A campaign in fine style, beating Venezia 2-0 on the opening day. That result offered a welcome boost after a turbulent end to last season, where they picked up just one win from their final five matches. Sitting in second place after matchday one, the Salentini will fancy their chances of banking early points at the Stadio Via del Mare against a side they have historically struggled to contain.
Roma arrive in Puglia under the guidance of Gian Piero Gasperini, who steered the club to a third-place finish and Champions League qualification last term. Their recent form reads three wins followed by two defeats, and Gasperini has publicly urged the club to accelerate transfer business. Lorenzo Pellegrini remains sidelined for at least another month following thigh surgery, a significant absence. Robinio Vaz, however, has returned from an MCL sprain and featured in a recent friendly.
Roma's head-to-head record against Lecce is staggering: 14 wins from 17 meetings, including victories in all four most recent encounters. The Giallorossi hammered Lecce 4-1 in December 2024 and ground out a 1-0 win in March 2026. That kind of dominance across multiple seasons and coaching setups points to a structural mismatch that favours the away side at 1.47.
Lecce's opening day win over Venezia was encouraging, but their broader form tells a different story. Two wins from five recent outings, with three defeats, suggests inconsistency that Roma can exploit. The visitors, meanwhile, won three of their last five and finished third last season to qualify for the Champions League. Lorenzo Pellegrini's thigh injury rules him out for at least another month, though Robinio Vaz's return from an MCL sprain provides depth.
The away win at 1.47 represents genuine value given Roma's overwhelming superiority in this fixture. Under 2.5 goals at N/A also merits consideration; three of the last four meetings produced two goals or fewer, and Gasperini's tactical discipline tends to keep games tight on the road. Roma should collect all three points here.
