On May 25, 2025, Lazio will host Lecce at the iconic Stadio Olimpico in Rome as the curtain comes down on another thrilling Serie A season. This fixture kicks off at 20:45 CEST for Italy, Germany, France and Spain, with UK viewers tuning in at 19:45 BST.
Both sets of fans will be glued to the action as Lazio aim to solidify a top-six finish and seal European football for next season, while Lecce look to climb clear of the relegation zone in what promises to be a tense finale.
How are both teams coming into this?
Lazio currently occupy 6th place in the Serie A table with 65 points, just outside the Champions League spots but comfortably placed for a Europa League berth. Mauricio Sarri’s side are unbeaten in their last five domestic outings (W2, D3) and have drawn their last two at home, meaning they’ll be eager to turn recent stalemates into victories in front of their own supporters.
Lecce find themselves in the drop zone at 17th with 31 points, having won just one of their last five league matches (W1, D2, L2). They travel to Rome under pressure, knowing that any slip-up could see them cut adrift at the bottom and put their Serie A status in serious jeopardy.
Our forecast
Given Lazio’s superior form and home advantage, we predict the Biancocelesti will edge this encounter. A 1-0 or 2-0 home victory looks likely, as Lecce have struggled to score on the road and Lazio’s defence has been solid in recent weeks.
While Lecce will fight hard in a relegation six-pointer, our view is that Lazio’s quality in midfield and attack will prove decisive. Expect fewer than four total goals and a clean sheet for the hosts, but don’t discount a late consolation strike from the visitors.
