Paulo Dybala leads Roma to the Stadio Ettore Giardiniero
Paulo Dybala arrives at the Stadio Ettore Giardiniero as the focal point of a Roma attack that looks to maintain its early-season momentum. With his ability to unlock defences through vision and precise finishing, the playmaker remains the primary threat that the Lecce backline must contain to secure a result on Monday evening.
Roma enter this matchday 2 encounter buoyed by a dominant 4-0 opening victory against Fiorentina. The expected XI features a balanced setup with the creative partnership of Dybala and Donyell Malen leading the line, supported by a midfield trio of Rodrigo Mora, Manu Kone, and Bryan Cristante. Defensively, the side relies on the experience of Gianluca Mancini and Evan N'Dicka to provide stability in front of goalkeeper Mile Svilar.
Lecce will look to build on their positive start to the Serie A campaign following a 2-0 victory over Venezia on 23 August. The expected lineup sees Wladimiro Falcone in goal, protected by a defensive unit anchored by Kialonda Gaspar and Antonino Gallo. In the middle of the park, Lassana Coulibaly and Oumar Ngom will be tasked with disrupting Roma's rhythm while feeding forwards Willem Geubbels and Santiago Pierotti.
Recent history heavily favours the visitors, with Roma maintaining a firm grip on this matchup in recent seasons. The two sides last met in Serie A on 22 March 2026, where Roma secured a narrow 1-0 win. In the previous meeting earlier that year, Roma also claimed a 2-0 victory, highlighting the defensive challenges Lecce has faced when confronting the capital club.
While Roma look strong, they will be without the services of Devyne Rensch due to injury, forcing a slight adjustment to their defensive rotation. For Roma, the form of Donyell Malen is a significant factor, as the forward has netted 7 goals in his last 8 appearances. Dybala’s influence is equally profound, with the Argentine playmaker having been directly involved in 11 goals across his team's most recent 10 outings.
This match represents a stern test for Lecce, who will need to be disciplined against a Roma side that has demonstrated significant attacking potency in their recent outings. The midfield battle between the energetic Coulibaly and the seasoned Roma engine room will likely dictate the flow of the game. If Lecce can replicate the defensive organisation that kept a clean sheet against Venezia, they may find a way to frustrate their high-scoring opponents.
