Serie A
AS Roma are dominant in H2H matches against Lecce, having won nine of the last 11 meetings, with two draws. Last season, the team from the Italian capital city triumphed 2-0 and 1-0. Also, it is worth noting that Lecce's previous victory in the H2H games was 14 years ago.
Lecce team overview
Since returning to Serie A in 2022, Lecce have regularly been among the worst teams in the competition, yet they have always found a way to avoid relegation. There is no doubt that survival is once again the only real goal for Lecce, and that every point could be decisive. After a solid run in friendlies this summer, Eusebio Di Francesco's team opened the season with a disappointing defeat in the cup to Palermo. However, Lecce responded well in their most recent outing, securing a 2-0 away win over fellow relegation candidates Venezia. Although Di Francesco's team had only 29% possession, they created 2.70 xG and picked up a valuable victory.
Since their last match, Lecce made two transfers. The big addition could be Ivan Ilic, who came on loan from Torino. The Serbian midfielder has had some good seasons behind him, but in the previous one, he didn't play much, and Lecce seems a good solution to get back on track. Also, Di Francesco's team added left winger Amar Fatah from Troyes. He spent the previous year on loan at Dundee United, where he had eight goals and three assists in 30 matches. Both players could debut for Lecce on Monday.
Antonino Gallo is in doubt and might miss the upcoming tie against AS Roma.

AS Roma team overview
After finishing third in Serie A last season and returning to the Champions League after almost a decade, AS Roma wants to take another step forward and challenge the other top Italian teams for the most important trophy in domestic football. Gian Piero Gasperini's team struggled in the preseason with only one victory in five matches. However, a few days ago, in the Serie A opening round, they trashed Fiorentina 4-0 at home. The hosts dominated throughout the match and never left any doubt about who would take all three points.
AS Roma are active in the transfer market, too. They are close to bringing in center-back Leonardo Balerdi on loan from Marseille. Also, it seems that Gasperini's team is interested in Watford's left-winger Rocco Vata.
Lorenzo Pellegrino and Muhammed Bah are injured and will skip the upcoming trip to Lecce.
