Lecce vs Roma Prediction: Will the home team be able to compete with the favorite?

In the 22nd round of the Italian championship Lecce will host Roma. Jose Mourinho's team have an excellent chance to win their 13th victory in the current Serie A campaign and temporarily level up with Inter on points. Will the home team be able to compete with the favorite?

Last weekend, the Red and Yellow broke their winless streak in the Italian league. Lecce scored two unanswered goals against Cremonese. Before this outcome, the team's last win was recorded only on January 4 (at home - over Lazio 2-1). Lecce is holding 14th place in the Serie A table with 23 points.

The team rehabilitated themselves from an unexpected loss to Cremonese (1:2) and relegation from the Italian Cup. On Matchday 21, the team took on Empoli at home and made the difference right at the start of the meeting. Ibañez and Abraham scored for the club in Rome, and Dibala had two assists from a corner. In the remaining time, the fans did not see any more action (2:0). Roma is third in the Italian league table with 40 points.

In recent seasons Lecce has been one of the most comfortable opponents for Roma. In their last 11 head-to-head encounters, the Giallorossi have only failed to beat the Red Yellows once. The last victory over Empoli was significant for Mourinho's team after the departure from the Italian Cup. In this campaign, the Giallorossi have a great chance to get into the top 4 and break into the Champions League. To accomplish this task, the team must beat underdogs like Lecce - with all due respect to the hosts. We expect the game without a sensational result.
