The probable lineups

It will be a real salvation challenge that will be staged on Saturday at 20.45 at the Stadio Olimpico: Roma and Lecce, in fact, will play three crucial points to try to get out of the quagmire of the last positions, since the two Giallorossi clubs are paired in fifteenth place with 13 points each, only two more than the relegation zone.

Of the two contenders è Roma (which, by the way, against Lecce sees again the ghosts of 1986, when the 2-3 final just at the Olimpico took away the Giallorossi's chance to win the Scudetto) to have more urgency to get out of the crisis: since Claudio Ranieri's arrival came the draw accrued in the Europa League final against Tottenham and the tough defeat in Bergamo against Atalanta; success has been missing since Oct. 31 (1-0 at Torino). Possible return of the three-man defense, supported by midfield sides Celik and Angeliño. In front, confidence confirmed in Dovbyk, despite difficulties in the scoring phase.

Lecce, on the other hand, is coming from three consecutive useful results: 1-1 with Empoli, 1-0 in Venice, 1-1 at home against Juventus, with a draw in the dying minutes.Marco Giampaolo could rely precisely on last day&#39s hero, Ante Rebic, in attack, with the Croatian keeping company in front of Krstovic and Pierotti in the 4-3-3 of the coach who took over from Luca Gotti just under a month ago.

Roma-Lecce, probable formations

ROMA (3-5-1-1): Svilar; Mancini, Hummels, Ndicka; Celik, Koné, Paredes, Cristante, Angeliño; Dybala; Dovbyk. All. Ranieri.
