This event is for the upcoming Serie A game, scheduled for Monday, August 31, 2026 between US Lecce and AS Roma.
Roma enter the Serie A Matchday 2 fixture at Stadio Via del Mare as clear favorites, backed by a dominant 4-0 opening win over Fiorentina featuring Donyell Malen’s hat-trick and an extended unbeaten run that includes six straight league victories. Lecce secured a 2-0 victory at Venezia but face a lopsided head-to-head record in which Roma have won the last four encounters and remain unbeaten in their prior five away meetings. Roma’s squad depth, including contributions from Paulo Dybala, contrasts with Lecce’s limited attacking output and home defensive concerns, while minor injury doubts for both sides (Antonino Gallo and Medon Berisha for Lecce; Devyne Rensch and Lorenzo Pellegrini for Roma) have not shifted the consensus implied probability toward an upset.
