Since the 2005-2006 championship, basically for the last two decades, Roma only know how to win when they host Lecce at the Olimpico. Accounting in hand: 7 successes with 18 goals scored against 6 goals conceded.
However, this is not a record.
Because between the 1989-1990 and 2003-2004 seasons there were 8 successes without interruption with 23 active centers and 6 negatives.
In short, in case of three points a record will be equaled.
However, for a few days now, what happened in 1985-1986 has echoed in the memories of the Giallorossi fans, when the Salento they played a dirty trick on her Magicapassing 3-2 on the banks of the Tiber and putting an end to that team’s championship dreams.
Not only that.
The last time Lecce scored points dates back to 2004-2005, when it was a 2-2 draw in the third round. Season, the one just mentioned, which is very reminiscent of the current one from the point of view of technical management, because then as today there were 3 Roma coaches in Serie A.
Be careful, in the event of a KO Dybala and his teammates would equal another record, this time negative: between the 25th and 29th matchdays of 1950-1951, in fact, there were 5 defeats in a row.
The two teams are tied in the standings.
Roma with 13 points (3W – 4X – 7P with 14GF and 20GS), 9 of which at home (3W – 0X – 4P with 9GF and 9GS). Also Lecce at 13 (3W – 4X – 7P with 7GF and 22GS), of which 4 away (1W – 1X – 5P with 1GF and 8GS).
PS: Lecce is the last team to have not yet taken a penalty in this tournament. The most recent in favor dates back to March 3rd, in Frosinone, but it was not transformed into a point. The last one away and marked dates back to 17 September 2023, Monza-Lecce 1-1. Exactly 447 days will have passed on Saturday.
