Struggling Lecce will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Juventus in the upcoming league round. It’s 16th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

It's quite the trip for Juventus when visiting Lecce as the cities are 1100 kilometers apart.

Lecce form and stats

Lecce have played three Serie A home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Game days at Via del Mare have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Lecce as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Lecce manager F. Liverani and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Milan (placed 12th) in the Serie A. Heartbreak before that as Lecce lost 1-3 at Atalanta's place.

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

Lecce has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 3 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Lecce with 6 goals conceded in these matches.

Juventus form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie A travels is 3 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats. Juventus have been producing wins at home as well, producing a total of five victories in a row regardless of arena. Juventus has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Juventus won their last game, 2-1 versus Bologna played at home. Prior to that result Juventus won their away game at Inter. The scoreline was 2-1.

Juventus find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 5 goals from 4 away fixtures in the league. Juventus are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 2 away goals have been conceded so far.

Head 2 Head

Lecce-Juventus H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Lecce 1 win, Juventus 7 wins, 2 draws. 7 of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
