Lecce vs Juventus Information

Lecce
Lecce were the top dogs in Serie B last season, collecting an impressive 71 points to go up as champions. Along the way, the Wolves suffered just five defeats from their 38 matches.
Staying up is the priority, and the Salentians are just above the drop line in the current Serie A standings. It has been a difficult start for the second-tier champions, however.
Can the Yellow and Reds End Winless Run?
Marco Baroni’s side have managed to win just one Serie A game this term, drawing five and losing five of the other ten. They have amassed eight points from 11 league games.
Since a 2-1 victory at Salernitana in mid-September, which remains their only win of the campaign, Lecce has taken just two points from a possible 12. Last time out, they lost 2-0 at Bologna.
The Yellow and Reds have not won at home since May, and their winless streak could go on this weekend.
Lecce Projected Lineup
- Wladimiro Falcone
- Giuseppe Pezzella
- Federico Baschirotto
- Marin Pongracic
- Valentin Gendrey
- Kristoffer Askildsen
- Morten Hjulmand
- Joan Gonzalez
- Lameck Banda
- Assan Ceesay
- Gabriel Strefezza
Lecce Injuries
- No current injuries.
Juventus
By their extremely high standards, Juventus have been nowhere near good enough this season. Allegri’s men were dumped out of the UEFA Champions League after a disastrous group stage, and the Zebras currently languish down in eighth in the Serie A standings.
Will Bianconeri Bounce Back From European Defeat?
For many years, Juve has been one of the top Serie A teams in Italian soccer, but the Old Lady are already a whopping ten points behind leaders Napoli.
Barring a miracle, Juventus will not win the title this season for what will be the third year in a row.
Serie A Fixtures
They have improved in recent weeks, picking up wins over Bologna, Torino, and Empoli in three of their last four Serie A fixtures.
However, the White and Blacks have beaten in Europe yet again in midweek, this time losing 4-3 at Benfica.
Can they bounce back with an away win on the weekend? We have the best Lecce vs Juventus odds and picks below.
Juventus Projected Lineup
- Wojciech Szczesny
- Danilo, Leonardo Bonucci
- Federico Gatti
- Filip Kostic
- Adrien Rabiot
- Manuel Locatelli
- Weston McKennie
- Juan Cuadrado
- Moise Kean
- Dusan Vlahovic
Juventus Injuries
- Angel Di Maria
- Leandro Paredes
- Bremer
- Federico Chiesa
- Mattia De Sciglio
- Paul Pogba
Lecce vs. Juventus Pick and Prediction
This will be the first Italian top-flight meeting between these two sides since June 2020. Juventus cruised to a 4-0 home win, with Paulo Dybala, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gonzalo Higuain, and Matthijs de Ligt on target. However, Leece held Bianconeri to a draw when the duo last locked horns at the Via del Mare.
The home team has struggled for wins this term, but almost half of their Serie A fixtures have ended in stalemates.
Who to Bet On?
Lecce have drawn four on the spin on their own patch, and we fancy Baroni’s troops to hold Allegri’s Juve to a draw on Saturday.
Check out the solid Lecce vs Juventus odds of +300 for the draw and under 2.5 goals. The 1-1 draw at +550 is also worth having a punt on.
Match Prediction: Draw (+300), Under 2.5 goals
