Claudio Ranieri is still searching for his first win as AS Roma manager. The next assignment for the veteran coach will be at home to Lecce. As Giallorossi and Salentini prepare for this duel, we have a prediction for the match.

It has been a baptism by fire for Ranieri, facing Napoli, Tottenham Hotspur and Atalanta in his first three games. He came out of those with just a draw but Lecce should be a more manageable opponent.

In his first home match, Roma once again fell to two second half strikes in the 2-0 defeat to Atalanta. That defeat left them 15th in the standings, on 13 points; just two above the relegation region.

Lecce are tied on points with Roma but have a very inferior goal difference. They will, however, head to the capital in a buoyant mood after their last result. When it seemed like Lecce were losing to Juventus in round 14, they stole in with a stoppage time leveler.

That earned them a 1-1 result and a valuable point to pull further away from the drop zone. Going into this game, Lecce are focused on breaking a seven-match winless run against Roma. It is more than 10 years since Lecce won in this fixture.

They are unbeaten in three matches heading to Rome but lost four of five away games.
