Three points for the home side is expected from this game if the league standings is to be believed. The Juventus supporters are confident that the gulf between 3rd and Lecce's 16th position in the table will be visible on the pitch.

Insights:
  • Juventus have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (12) in Serie A
  • Lecce have the fewest matches over the total-line (9) in Serie A

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Lecce, who are travelling more than 1100 kilometers to play this game.

Only a few days to rest for the host team, as they were involved in a Serie A game only three days earlier. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Bologna.

Juventus form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Allianz Stadium as Juventus have scored 34 goals to get 36 points from 16 games. The overall stats in the Serie A are 11-3-2 (wins-draws-losses).

The home team returns to Allianz Stadium after drawing with Bologna (placed 9th) on their last time out; the game ended 1-1. A painful moment in the game against Bologna was the missed penalty kick from Milik in the 31st minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome. Defender Cuadrado got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.61/10. Cuadrado won 10 of 16 duels.

Before that game, a loss in the away fixture against Inter in the Coppa Italia.

It should be noted that a peek at the 26 most recent league games shows that 20 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the teams scored a goal).

The manager Allegri will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Atalanta in only four days.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (34 in 16 games), Juventus's attacking play is working. Juventus have only conceded 13 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Lecce form and stats

There's been little loot from Lecce's travels as they have only collected 15 points from 16 away games in the Serie A. Lecce only have 4 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 3 draws. A depressing four defeats in a row for Lecce in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Atalanta.

Lecce won their last game, 1-0 versus Udinese played at home. Yippee; their first win in the league after eight games not winning. Goalkeeper Falcone got the top player rating of the team with 8.01/10. Falcone topped it up with a clean sheet.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Milan wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

A tale of few goals? 10 of this side's most recent 12 league matches have had two or less goals.

A quick return to home after this game, as Lecce are hosting Hellas Verona in the Serie A only four days away.

The visitors have scored 11 goals from 16 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 18 goals have been conceded by Lecce in these games.

Head 2 Head

Juventus have pulled off a streak of 5 consecutive matches without losing (3-2-0) when facing Lecce.

Lecce - Juventus 0-1 was the scoreline in these squads' previous head-to-head fixture, earlier this season. The games between these clubs have sometimes been hostile, having seen 6 red cards from the last ten duels.
