Our prediction for this Serie A match:
AS Roma will look to put an end to their six-game winless run when they take on Lecce in the Serie A round 15 on Saturday evening. The Giallorossi do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team losing each of their last four league matches, but this game could be the turning point for the capital club. New boss Claudio Ranieri should opt to make changes to the team that suffered a 2-0 loss to Atalanta, with Niccolo Pisilli returning from suspension. Bryan Cristante should miss out with injury for the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Juventus. Lecce are tough to beat at their Stadio Via del Mare, but given their poor away record in the new Serie A campaign, we predict that the Romans are going to pick up all three points from the match. The likes of Bonifazi, Burnete, Banda, and Pierret are injured for the away team.
Highlighted Team (AS Roma):
AS Roma is a professional football club based in Rome. Roma were founded by a merger in 1927 and they play in the Italian Serie A. Roma’s fiercest rivals are Lazio and it has to be noted that both capital clubs play their home games at Stadio Olimpico. The two local rivals face each other in the Derby della Capitale, which is considered one of the most exciting derbies in the world of football.
The Giallorossi (The Yellow and Reds) have won three Serie A titles (1941/1942, 1982/1983, 2000/2001), while winning nine Coppa Italia trophies. The colour of Roma’s shirts is imperial purple with a golden yellow trim. A number of top-class footballers were part of Roma in the past, but Francesco Totti is undisputedly the club’s biggest legend.The Prince of Rom made his 601 appearances for Roma on 14 May, 2016 when the Giallorossi recorded a 3-1 win over Milan at Stadio San Siro.
