Lecce vs AS Roma prediction
THE FORECAST
Roma started the season strongly with 4 goals without conceding, but the departure of key players such as Dovbyk, Dybala and El Shaarawy makes their attacking power uncertain; the massive transfer activity on both sides results in teams still integrating. Lecce has put down a reliable start at home (clean sheet, 2-0 win) and faces less rotation pressure than Roma, which has to play again five days later while Roma's rest time is also one day shorter. The heat (up to 32.8°C) can disadvantage intensive pressing teams, but with limited data on playing styles, I give Roma a slight advantage based on broader quality depth on a hot Lecce field.
