Roma will entertain Lecce at Stadio Olimpico in Serie A on Saturday. Both teams have three wins in 13 league games and have 13 points to their name. The hosts are in 15th place in the league table thanks to their better goalscoring record.
The Giallorossi are winless in their last six games in all competitions, with three defeats and three draws. They failed to score for the second consecutive league game on Monday as they suffered a 2-0 home loss to Atalanta.
The Salentini are unbeaten in their last three league outings, playing out two draws. They played Juventus in their previous outing and were held to a 1-1 draw at home. Late drama ensued as second-half substitute Ante Rebić scored the equalizer in stoppage time.

Roma vs Lecce Prediction
The Giallorossi have suffered four consecutive losses in Serie A, conceding nine goals while failing to score in their last two. They are winless in their last six games in all competitions, suffering four losses, and will look to improve upon that record.
Claudio Ranieri will be without the services of Bryan Cristante, who picked up an ankle injury against Atalanta last week. Mario Hermoso has been included in the squad for this match and is likely to start from the bench. Artem Dovbyk is back from an illness and should start here.
The Salentini suffered five consecutive losses between September and October but have bounced back well, with just one loss in their last five games. They have drawn two of their last three league games, scoring one goal apiece, and will look to continue that run here.
Antonino Gallo, Lameck Banda, and Nicola Sansone have been left out of the squad due to injuries. Ante Rebić scored his first goal of the league campaign earlier this week and might get the nod to start.
Considering the impact that new coach Claudio Ranieri could have, along with home advantage, we expect Roma to secure a win.
