H2H: Lecce vs. AS Roma – Score prediction (29.09.2019)

Overview.

Lecce surprised everyone with yet another away victory in the last Serie A (SA) round at Spal (3-1), and with their three other games this campaign resulting in losses, it’s now 14 straight league games (including Serie B) without a draw. Ahead of the round, no side has conceded more SA goals (11), while four of their five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. With both home league games resulting in losses, Lecce have now lost five SA home games in a row (dating back to 2011/12). Their sole home goal came via a spot kick, meaning it’s now five penalties across their last three games overall (three for Lecce).

Defeat last time out to Atalanta (0-2) at home ended Roma’s unbeaten streak of five competitive games this season and 14 competitive games overall. That loss also marked just the second time in the 17 league games that they failed to net. Last game aside, ‘La Magica’ have struck first in each competitive game this term, scoring first inside 20 minutes three times. Furthermore, Roma have kept a clean sheet in the first half in four of their five SA games this season, conceding seven of their nine goals against after the break (77.78%).
