Key Highlights
Lecce Looking for Back-to-Back Wins in Serie A

In their last five Serie A matches, Lecce have won once, drawn once, and lost three times. This run of form sees them sit 13th on the Serie A table with a points haul of 28.
Lecce is four points above the relegation zone. To enhance their chance of survival, they need to regain some consistency with their results, starting with Monday’s home clash against in-form Roma.
Roma Looking to Extend their Five-Match Unbeaten Run in Serie A
Roma returned to their winning ways in Serie A when they beat Sassuolo at home (1-0) right before the international break. The win saw them bounce back after they dropped points in their 2-2 draw away to Fiorentina.
In their last five outings in Serie A, Roma have won four times and drawn once. This positive run of form sees them apply pressure on the top-four in the run-in.
