A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Roma fans are optimistic that the difference between 5th and Lecce's 15th place in the table will show on the pitch.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Europa League match only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Gent, was also a home game here at Stadio Olimpico. The away team is better rested.
