&lt;p&gt;Lecce vs. Roma will end Saturday’s Serie A Enlive Matchday 30 schedule.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The home side need to put their four successive losses behind them (Udinese, Fiorentina, AC Milan and Genoa) to try and escape from the relegation zone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All the while, Roma are flying: they haven’t lost in 13 games since defeat on 15 December against Como, and they have won all of their last six. If they were to keep this going, they could achieve their dream of Champions League football.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma have lost only two of their 37 Serie A matches against Lecce (W25 D10) a 5% loss rate. Lecce is the team against which they have suffered the lowest percentage of defeats among the teams the Giallorossi have faced at least 10 times in the competition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In their 18 Serie A home matches played against Roma, Lecce has scored 12 goals, failing to score in 10 occasions. Roma is the team against which Lecce have most often failed to find the net in home games in Serie A.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lecce have lost their last four Serie A matches and have not endured a worse streak since a run of six consecutive losses between February and April 2023. Marco Giampaolo has never experienced five consecutive defeats in the competition, stopping at four losses on seven occasions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lecce is one of four teams still without a home win in Serie A in 2025 (D2 L3), and no team has scored fewer goals than Lecce in home matches during this period (two goals, along with Venezia, Empoli, and Hellas Verona).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma have collected 29 points in Serie A in 2025, with 9 wins and 2 draws from 11 matches. Among the Big-5 European leagues, only PSG have registered as many victories in the same period, but with 28 points from 10 matches (W9 D1).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma have won their last four away matches in Serie A, and they have only enjoyed five or more consecutive away wins on five occasions in the competition, all between 2006 and 2017 – the last of which was between February and November 2017 (12 wins in that case).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma have scored seven goals from penalties, more than any other opponent in Serie A. Among the Big-5 European Leagues, only Bayern Munich (9), Liverpool (9), and Real Madrid (8) have scored more goals from the spot. On the other hand, only Venezia (8) have conceded more penalties than Lecce (7, a level with Udinese and Como) in Serie A 2024/25.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both Roma and Lecce have registered 15 shot ending high turnovers in 2025 in Serie A, with no other side bettering this this year in the competition (Bologna and Udinese also 15).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nikola Krstovic has scored Lecce’s last three goals in Serie A and now has reached 10 goals this season. The Montenegrin forward has scored 48% of Lecce`s goals (10 out of 21), a record percentage in the Big-5 European Leagues 2024/25.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Under Claudio Ranieri, Artem Dovbyk has scored six goals in 14 Serie A matches, averaging one goal every 159 minutes. In the 11 matches with Ivan Juric and Daniele De Rossi, he scored four goals, averaging one every 239 minutes. Additionally, both of his assists this season have come under Roma`s current manager.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: none&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Berisha, Rafia, Pierotti, Ramadani, Krstović (Lecce); Pellegrini, Saelemaekers (Roma)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MANGANIELLO (PRETI – MORO), IV: COSSO, VAR: DI PAOLO, AVAR: GHERSINI&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lecce-Venezia (Sunday 6 April, 12.30 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma-Juventus (Sunday 6 April, 20.45 CET)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;
