AS Roma vs. US Lecce 2/23/20 - Serie A Soccer Picks & Predictions

Last Updated: 02/16/2020 at 12:22 AM ET

AS Roma will play their next Serie A match at home where they will host Lecce at the Stadio Olimpico. 

AS Roma were well placed a few weeks back but they have had a tough time recently and that has resulted in the team falling behind Atalanta on the Serie A ladder. Roma have failed to win their last 5 domestic games with the team losing its previous outing to Atalanta 2-1. It was a disappointing performance by AS Roma as they controlled only 42% of the possession and had 1 shot on target in the entire match. Edin Dzeko scored the only goal of the game for AS Roma. Despite their recent form, AS Roma are still a very talented side and they will hope to return to winning ways in this match. 

On the other side of the coin, Lecce have struggled this season and the team is only 3 points above the relegation. That being said, Lecce have been on a winning streak as they have won their previous 3 games. Lecce won their previous outing as they defeated SPAL 2-1 at home. Lecce have shown great fight in recent times but the team is lacking quality in most areas and that may make things hard for the team in this match. 

Lecce hosted AS Roma earlier in the season. The match was won 1-0 by Roma with Edin Dzeko scoring the winning goal. Lecce competed well but the match was controlled by AS Roma with the visitors having 60% of the possession and 18 shots.

Looking at this fixture, I am going to pick AS Roma to return to winning ways. Lecce have had a good run in recent times but the team lacks the quality required to compete against the top teams. AS Roma have not been at their best but the team is still filled with top players who will be desperate to turn things around. With the advantage of playing at home, I see AS Roma getting all 3 points from this match.
