-----------------------------------
Roma look to recover from a disappointing start to 2026 when they face struggling Lecce at Stadio Via del Mare. The Serie A giants have suffered four losses in five games, putting their top-four ambitions under pressure. Lecce, just above the relegation zone, will be eager to capitalize on home advantage against the faltering visitors.

Team Analysis:
Roma continue to struggle under Gian Piero Gasperini, suffering a 1-0 defeat to Atalanta that extended their winless run and highlighted issues in attack. With strikers under scrutiny, attention is already turning to potential January signings to bolster the squad. Lecce, meanwhile, have gained confidence from recent results and aim to build on their best run of the season as they fight to avoid relegation.

Player Situation:
Roma face a defensive crisis at Lecce with key players Mancini, Hermoso, Ndicka, and Pellegrini unavailable, forcing Gasperini to improvise his backline. Injuries and international absences also affect Lecce, though they have some recent reinforcements returning from AFCON. Both sides are short on attacking firepower, adding uncertainty over who will lead the line in this crucial Serie A clash.

Result Prediction:
Both Roma and Lecce struggle to score consistently, making a single goal potentially decisive. Despite their recent difficulties, Roma’s attack remains superior in quality. This gives the capital club a stronger chance of securing the win.

Predicted Result: Lecce 0-1 AS Roma.
