Juventus team news
Juventus heads into this clash at the Stadio Via del Mare with a nearly full-strength squad, providing a significant boost for their late-season ambitions.
The most notable news is the return of star striker Dusan Vlahovic, who has rejoined full team training and is expected to reclaim his spot in the starting lineup after a lengthy injury absence.
He is joined by Kenan Yildiz and Khephren Thuram, both of whom are available for selection.
However, the squad isn’t entirely clear of issues; Juan Cabal and Arek Milik remain sidelined.
Discipline is also a major concern for the Bianconeri, as key defensive figures Gleison Bremer and Lloyd Kelly, along with midfielder Manuel Locatelli, are all just one yellow card away from suspension.
Michele Di Gregorio is expected to retain his position between the posts even after facing criticism for conceding a soft goal although an error by Bremer led to Juventus falling behind in the first half.
Form
Lecce
Lecce has found crucial momentum in their fight against relegation, currently enjoying a three-match unbeaten streak. Their most recent result was a vital 2-1 away victory over Pisa, which moved them four points clear of the drop zone. While they have struggled for wins throughout the campaign—losing 19 of 35 matches—their recent resilience, including draws against Fiorentina and Hellas Verona, has significantly improved their survival prospects.
Juventus
Juventus enters this match in stable form, maintaining a ten-match unbeaten run across all competitions. However, the Bianconeri have drawn their last two Serie A fixtures, including a frustrating 1-1 stalemate against Hellas Verona. Despite these recent draws, their overall consistency keeps them fourth in the table with 65 points. Defensively solid, they have conceded less than a goal per game on average this season.
