Roma<\/a> welcome Lecce<\/a> to the Stadio Olimpico for a Sunday evening Serie A<\/a> clash on 22 March, kick-off at 17:00. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The capital club hold a formidable record in this fixture and will be looking to consolidate their top-six position, while Lecce are seeking vital points to steer clear of the relegation zone. Recent form and historical trends suggest an uphill battle for the visitors, but can Roma’s attacking quality break down Lecce’s resilient defence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Best Bets & Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on Roma\u2019s dominant head-to-head record, superior attack, and Lecce\u2019s ongoing struggles in front of goal, here are our top betting recommendations for this match. We’re particularly confident in Roma to win, given their perfect record against Lecce in recent meetings and the gulf in season-long attacking statistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roma to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n2\/5 @ Bet365<\/a>
(71.4%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nRoma have won 7 of the last 9 meetings with Lecce and have not lost to them in the head-to-head. Their attack averages 1.34 goals per game compared to Lecce\u2019s 0.72, and they\u2019ve allowed just 23 goals this season. Lecce have struggled for goals on the road and have a negative goal difference of -18.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Donyell Malen First Goalscorer<\/strong><\/td>\n10\/3 @ Bet365<\/a>
(23.1%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nMalen has featured regularly for Roma and with no Roma or Lecce players among the Serie A top scorers, the goals are spread. Malen\u2019s movement and Roma\u2019s 44 big chances created make him a good candidate to break the deadlock.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Season Form & Standings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Roma have been steady in Serie A, sitting 6th with 16 wins from 29, a solid defence (23 conceded), and a +16 goal difference. Lecce, meanwhile, are 17th, having won just 7 games and scored a league-low 21 goals. Lecce\u2019s away form has also been a concern, as reflected in their negative goal difference and poor conversion rate on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
