Lecce-Roma prediction odds analysis 19th matchday Serie A

After a great start to the season, Roma have come to a halt: the Scudetto dream seems to have almost vanished, thus giving way to the Champions League objective, in line with the club’s initial expectations. Now Gasperini stops in Lecce, against a team looking for points to get closer to the goal of salvation. Let’s find out the prediction and odds for Lecce-Roma, scheduled for Tuesday 6 January at 6pm.

LECCE-ROMA PREDICTION ODDS

—

Complicated moment for Cristante and his teammates, who have suffered four defeats in the last six matchdays: a drop in performance has cost the Giallorossi the top spot in the league, with the top now 6 points away (but Inter, Milan and Napoli all have a game to recover). It is therefore more realistic to focus on a Champions League placement, an objective declared at the beginning of the season. However, Lecce has only lost one of their last 4 games at home and is looking for points to avoid Fiorentina’s rise in the standings, having returned to winning ways in recent weeks.

Two struggling attacks compete: Roma scored only 9 away goals (exact average of one per game), while Lecce scored just 6 goals at the Via del Mare, the second worst home tally of the tournament after Pisa. Given the premises, we could therefore see an Under 2.5 race, option on the board at 1.62 on Bet365, 1.59 on William Hill and 1.57 on Starcasinò and Netwin.

BEWARE OF THE CORNERS

Roma are favorites on the bookmakers’ boards, where the 2 mark pays between 1.75 and 1.80, while the success of Lecce – who have won only one of their last 19 matches at home against the Giallorossi, in 2012 – reaches 5.50. Closes the tie at 3.55: Gasp’s team is the only one (along with Inter) to have not yet closed a match with the X sign. The operators then expect a No Goal match, on the board at 1.67 and considered decidedly more probable than the Goal, which breaks through at 2.10. Then pay attention to the corner count: Roma (95) and Lecce (88) are two of the teams to have taken the most in this championship and the Over 9.5 corner kicks comes close to doubling the number on the main betting shops.
