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 1st and Lecce's 18th place in the table will show on the pitch.

Juventus form and stats

Juventus, who have the most clean sheets (10) in Serie A, have been very solid at home in the Serie A so far, with 37 points collected from 13 matches (12-1-0). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table. With a nice streak brewing from their home games, Juventus are also looking for their fifth consecutive victory regardless of location. After failing to beat Sassuolo here at Allianz Stadium, Juventus has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with six wins in a row.

Juventus are confident in defense, having played 201 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

Juventus are returning here after visiting Bologna in a Serie A game and winning with a 2-0 scoreline. Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala scored the goal(s). Preceding that game was the away draw at Napoli (after extra-time, 4-2 on penalties) that finished 0-0.

Everyone expects Juventus to win this match. We have checked our database for matches where they have been as big a favourite and found twelve games: eleven home wins, one draw and zero defeats. Juventus have won with at least two goals margin eight times in similar situations.

There will be little rest for Juventus after this match as they are travelling to Genoa for a Serie A game in only four days.

Goals decide football matches and Juventus are scoring many of them at home; 31 on target from 13 league matches. 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 13 matches.

Lecce form and stats

As the visiting team in Serie A matches, Lecce, who have the most conceded goals (60) in Serie A, have produced an overall stat of 4-2-7 so far. Recent form does not give Lecce much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Juventus will be a tough nut to crack.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie A home defeat versus Milan with 1-4 on the scoreboard. A 2-7 loss hosting Atalanta before that.

It's a bit worrying for Lecce that their goalkeeper Gabriel made seven saves in the Milan game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.

Nobody expects Lecce to collect anything from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath six times before, with the overall statistics of won one, draw four and lost one. When defeated, one match have been lost by two or more goals.

Lecce have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 13 league away games 15 goals have been scored. The Lecce manager F. Liverani has some worries about the defense as 30 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Lecce - Juventus 1-1. Last ten meetings between the teams: Juventus won six, Lecce won one and three draws. six games with over 2,5 goals, four matches with two goals or less.
