Lazio will certainly enter as the favorites to beat Lecce at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, but based on their recent meetings, this won’t be a walk in the park for Maurizio Sarri’s men.
Curiously, the Salentians have had the upper hand over the Biancocelesti in their last seven outings (four wins, two losses and one draw). But what about their historical record?

Latest Lazio Victory vs Lecce
The Biancocelesti prevailed over Lecce at the Via del Mare on December 21, 2024. Frederic Guilbert stopped a goal with his hand, so he received his marching orders. Taty Castellanos scored the ensuing spot-kick, but Tete Morente equalized for the hosts despite being reduced to 10 men.
Nevertheless, Adam Marusic emerged as the unlikely super-sub, scoring with a long-range strike shortly following his introduction.

The last time these two shared the spoils was on May 12, 2023. Ivan Provedel denied Gabriel Strefezza from the spot, while Immobile broke the deadlock shortly afterwards.
