A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Juventus fans are optimistic that the difference between 2nd and Lecce's 16th place in the table will show on the pitch.

Lecce have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Juventus form and stats

Juventus have been very solid at home in the Serie A so far, with 34 points collected from 12 matches (11-1-0). This has contributed greatly to their 2nd position in the table. Ever since the Sassuolo game Juventus has been unbeatable here at Allianz Stadium producing five straight wins.

Juventus faced defeat in their previous match, away at Olympique Lyonnais (0-1). In the game before, an away victory in the Serie A match versus SPAL with a 2-1 scoreline.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (29 in 12 games), Juventus's attacking play is working. Juventus are not conceding a lot of goals here at Allianz Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 10 from 12 matches.

Lecce form and stats

4-2-7 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Lecce, who have the most conceded goals (56) in Serie A, in their Serie A matches away.

Lecce might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Atalanta proved too strong as Lecce slumped to a 2-7 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare. Prior to that match, the Lecce manager F. Liverani faced defeat when travelling to Roma and losing 0-4.

Lecce lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 2-7 beating and focus on this one.

The home team is given a winning chance of about 80 percent by the betting public. This does not leave much hope for the visitors, but some teams enjoy the outsider role and perform well in it. Looking at similar away games for Lecce we find five games. Results are one Lecce win, zero draws and four defeats.

Lecce are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 15 away goals from 13 games (in the league). For Lecce, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

Juventus and Lecce have met before this season: Lecce - Juventus 1-1. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's six Juventus victories, three draws and one Lecce win. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
