BTTS — Yes Lost

54.9% model probability

Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Won

After a narrow 0‑1 loss at Juventus, Lecce have hit a three‑game winning streak, while Roma have rolled over five straight league victories. The clash pits a resurgent Lecce against a Roma side that has been scoring freely on the road.

Robbo's Verdict

Strong

Both teams to score - Yes Lost Solid lean Strong · High BTTS chance

Both sides have an identical xG rating of 1.35 and recent form that demonstrates regular scoring, leading the model to assign a 54.9% probability to both teams finding the net.

Show the maths

The model’s expected‑goals for Lecce and Roma are each 1.35, meaning on average each team scores roughly one and a third goals per match. When both teams have the same xG, the probability of both scoring rises sharply, which the model quantifies as 54.9%. This exceeds the 50% threshold, making the BTTS‑Yes outcome the most probable single market. The symmetry in expected goals also aligns with the top scorelines of 1‑1, 0‑1 and 1‑0, reinforcing the likelihood of both sides scoring.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 54.9% model probability

With Lecce averaging 1.35 expected goals and AS Roma averaging 1.35, the model gives a 54.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 45.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Lecce 1.35, AS Roma 1.35) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 54.9% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 45.1% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Won 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Lecce 1.35 + AS Roma 1.35) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 50.6% chance against 49.4% for Under.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Lecce 1.35 + AS Roma 1.35 = 2.7 combined): 50.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 49.4% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Lecce at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and AS Roma at 37.1% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 12.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Lecce

LWWW

Lecce’s recent run includes a 3‑2 away win over Sassuolo and a 1‑0 home victory against Genoa, confirming they can score and keep a clean sheet. Their earlier 0‑1 defeat at Juventus shows vulnerability, but the three straight wins indicate growing confidence, supporting a scenario where they will breach Roma’s defence.

AS Roma

WWWWW

Roma have been prolific, beating Fiorentina 4‑0 at home and Parma 3‑2 away, demonstrating they can score multiple goals and also find the net in tighter games. Their 2‑0 away win over Hellas Verona adds to a pattern of scoring at least two goals on the road, suggesting they will likely score against Lecce.

Head-to-Head

In the last five meetings, Roma have won four times, including a 4‑1 victory in December 2024, while only one match ended 0‑0, indicating Roma’s dominance but also that Lecce have managed a clean sheet before, which aligns with a BTTS outcome.
