Lecce VS AS Roma

This one has all the makings of a tight, tactical contest rather than a free-flowing spectacle. Lecce arrive buoyed by recent results and will be happy to play the percentages, staying compact, limiting space between the lines, and drawing energy from the home crowd as they seek to frustrate Roma for long spells. Roma, meanwhile, travel under pressure after a run of setbacks and some defensive instability, but the difference in quality remains clear, particularly in the final third. Their task will be to slow the game down, control possession, and cut off Lecce’s transitions before they become a threat. Patience will be key, with the decisive moment likely to come from individual brilliance, the kind Paulo Dybala can provide.
