A sensational draw was secured by Lecce in the last round. The Apulians faced Juventus in Turin, and the start of the match suggested that nothing good awaited the visitors. Only Falcone's phenomenal saves kept Di Francesco's men from early goals. Even more surprising was that by the end of the first half Lecce went ahead. The Turin side immediately after the break equalized and the entire second half was spent at the opponents' goal. In the 65th minute, the 'Old Lady' failed to convert a penalty, and near the end Yildiz hit the crossbar. The obvious hero of the match was Falcone. But Vladimiro doesn't always come to the team's rescue. In the previous round, for example, Lecce were crushed 0-3 by Como. Roma lost in one of the marquee matches of the 18th round. The Romans were guests in Bergamo and already on the seventh minute Dybala and Ferguson could have upset the home tifosi. But while the first hesitated, the second couldn't beat the nearly empty goal. By the 12th minute the 'Goddess' had taken the lead. After a corner, Scalvini scored. Also in the first half there was a goal by Scamacca, but it was ruled offside. The Romans appeared on the pitch only after the break. The hosts' pressing was quite active for the first twenty minutes, but they couldn't convert. A deserved win for Atalanta. In the previous round the Romans fared much better. At the Olimpico Roma beat Genoa 3-1 without particular problems. Notably, their three goals were scored already by the 31st minute. Moreover, they had numerous chances to extend the lead. Twice in the past season the teams met. The match at the Olimpico ended with a confident 4-1 victory for the home side. The game at Via del Mare wasn't as high-scoring, but the Romans still took three points. Di Francesco's side do not perform well against the league leaders at home. Thus, besides the heavy 0-3 loss to Como, there was a defeat to Napoli (0:1) and Milan (0:2). Gasperini's charges have lost three away matches in a row. However, only the misfortune against Cagliari can be called extraordinary. And even the Romans lost, largely due to a tight schedule and Celik's red card early in the second half. The upcoming game is unlikely to cause similar difficulties. Both sides have squad problems, but the visitors' bench depth is clearly greater. Roma crave revenge after the defeat by Atalanta. Lecce will be their first victim.
