Lecce vs Juventus Prediction & Match Preview

• Juventus go into this tie on the back of six straight wins across competitions.
• Dusan Vlahovic completed a first-half brace in the last week’s thumping of Sassuolo in Turin.
• Lecce scored just once in the previous four league affairs.

Juventus kept their strong spell of form going on Tuesday night when they demolished Sassuolo 3-0 at Allianz Stadium in the last game of Matchday No 20. Dusan Vlahovic sent the game in Juve’s direction with a first-half brace while substitute Federico Chiesa confirmed the victory with a late goal five days ago.

I Bianconeri are thus again two points shy of leaders Inter Milan. They have six wins on the spin and are unbeaten in 17 subsequent games across competitions. Max Allegri’s men will look to continue this run on Sunday evening when they head to the south of the country to face Lecce in Gameweek No 21 at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare.

Lecce fell to 13th position in the Serie A standings after claiming just one point in the last four outings. They fell 0-1 away at Lazio last Sunday, extending their obvious attacking crisis along the way. The team led by Roberto D’Aversa scored just one goal in the previous four Serie A affairs.

That said, Lecce do produce much better performances at home than on the road this season. They have lost just two of ten league fixtures at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare. Will a strong home record be enough to take them to an upset against the title hopefuls?

Only two of the last eight head-to-head outings between Lecce and Juventus provided three or more goals.

Lecce vs Juventus Prediction

Lecce found goals hard to come by of late, scoring just once in the last four league games. Juventus go into this on the back of comprehensive clean-sheet wins over Frosinone and Sassuolo.

We have enough to find the value in backing the away win pick at the 1.72 odds. You can alternatively opt for in-form Dusan Vlahovic to score anytime for I Bianconeri at the 2.62 odds. The Serbian striker completed a first-half brace in the drubbing of Sassuolo on Tuesday evening.
