- Head-to-head: Juventus have won three of the last five head-to-head meetings between these sides, while Lecce have failed to beat Juventus in their last three home games against Juventus.
- Home form: Lecce have won two and lost three of their last five games, but they are conceding too many goals (2.67 per game) at home in Serie A 2026/2027.
- Away form: Juventus have looked the steadier proposition on the road this season, posting a 1-1-1 record and scoring four goals in three away games.
Juve should justify favoritism against Lecce
Lecce are coming off a 3-0 away win over Udinese following back-to-back defeats and the Giallorossi should be in better shape to face Juventus on Sunday. Eusebio Di Francesco has brought a renewed discipline to Lecce, but his team can be exposed when the pressure goes on around their own box.
La Vecchia Signora are the clear favorites for this fixture at 1.42, but we will pass on backing them at that price in favor of the long shots Lecce at 7.9 and draw at 4.2. Juventus have won only three of their first six games to sit eighth with 11 points while Lecce are 11th on nine points from seven games.
The visitors will come out on top in this encounter, but we like the chance that Lecce can keep it close enough for a draw because of their transition play. Di Francesco's men are quite dangerous in the transition and their 4-3-3 formation should be compact and able to press high up the field when they have the ball.
Spalletti’s plan is beginning to take hold at Juve
Tactical control
Luciano Spalletti has given Juventus more structure and control, and the recent results suggest the plan is starting to bite. Juventus are well drilled to press together, cover space and change shape as a unit when the ball is in the wide areas and on the counter-attack.
Key players and betting
- Lassana Coulibaly is a good threat from midfield for the hosts with two goals in five games in Serie A 2026/2027, but Juventus have the extra edge in the attacking third with Edon Zhegrova boasting the same number of goals in four games.
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.9 is a solid option in this clash given the control that Juventus will have and the compact nature of Lecce's play.
- But we feel the visitors are still likely to edge this one, which could go the distance, with the 1-0 scoreline that Juventus edged Lecce by in their previous meeting five months ago.
