Jose Mourinho’s Roma are looking to keep up the pressure in the race for a top four finish with a win over Lecce.
The match between the Salentini and the Giallorossi kicks off at 17.00 UK time at the Stadio Via del Mare in Lecce.
Lecce have only picked up one win in their last five league outings, beating Cremonese 2-0 last week, and they’ll be hoping to replicate the performance shown in their 2-1 win over Lazio on January 4.
The Puglian outfit are without Kastriot Dermaku, Marin Pongracic and Youssef Maleh, all of whom are out injured.
Roma have started to look a little more consistent in the new year, only losing once in Serie A since the Christmas break. Mourinho’s side are desperate to secure a top four finish and Champions League qualification, putting pressure on them to pick up all three points against Lecce.
The Giallorossi cannot count on the injured Leonardo Spinazzola and Ebrima Darboe.
Probable line-ups for Lecce vs Roma
Lecce (4-3-3): Falcone; Gendrey, Baschirotto, Umtiti, Gallo; Gonzalez, Blin, Askildsen; Strefezza, Colombo, Di Francesco.
Roma (3-4-2-1): Rui Patricio; Mancini, Smalling, Ibanez; Zalewski, Cristante, Matic, El Shaarawy; Dybala, Pellegrini; Abraham.
