How have Lecce and AS Roma been playing?
AS Roma opened the new Serie A season in style, beating Fiorentina 4-0 on 24 August 2026. That result came after a mixed run of pre-season friendlies, including a 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund, a 3-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, and a 3-3 draw with AS Cannes. Roma also finished last season on the front foot, winning 2-0 away at Hellas Verona.
Lecce's build-up looked shakier. They lost 2-0 to Palermo in the Coppa Italia on 17 August and drew and lost friendlies against NK Istra 1961 and ACS Știința Politehnica Timișoara respectively. But the league form has started well: a 2-0 win away at Venezia in the Serie A opener, following on from a 1-0 win over Genoa on the final day of last season.

Lecce vs AS Roma prediction
AS Roma should have too much for Lecce in this Serie A meeting at Lecce's ground on 31 August 2026. Roma's 4-0 opening-day win over Fiorentina was the more emphatic of the two results from round one, and their away form to close last season, winning 2-0 at Hellas Verona, points to a side comfortable on the road. Lecce's win at Venezia was solid, but their Coppa Italia defeat to Palermo suggests the squad is still finding its rhythm. Roma should have enough to win this one.
Our prediction: Lecce 1-2 AS Roma
