Lecce can post a first-ever season Serie A double against Lazio as they visit the capital city this weekend. This matchday 20 will be played at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday, with a 2-1 win for Lecce in the reverse fixture still fresh in memory. The hosts are 7th in the standings ahead of this round with 30 points while the visitors are 13th with 21 points. Lazio are coming off a bitter 1-0 win over city rivals Roma in the Coppa Italia, which was headlined by three red cards. Nonetheless, it was a fourth win in a row in all competitions for the side that is picking up momentum at the right time. They are only three points away from top-four and a positive result here will reinforce their charge. Crucially, they are in sparkling form at home winning nine of their last 11 home games in all competitions.

Lecce are seven points above the bottom-three and there’s no imminent danger of getting dragged into the relegation battle. Yet, recent form is a cause of concern for the visitors who have lost a lot of early season momentum. Lecce have won just one of their last 14 league games, drawing seven and losing six in the process. Their scoring record remains one of the lowest around with only 20 goals to their name although they have held their own defensively conceding only 25 goals so far. Despite such impressive numbers, they are still searching for a first away league win in this season and have lost their last two such matches.
