Juventus vs Lecce Prediction & Tips
Juventus recently suffered two consecutive devastating defeats by an aggregate score of 0-7, which led to the sacking of head coach Thiago Motta. He was replaced by Igor Tudor, who started his job with a 1-0 win over Genoa. However, on the following matchday, the Turin side drew 1-1 with Roma. The Zebras are currently fifth in the table and, after 31 games, have 56 points, just one behind the team in fourth. Juventus continue to fight for the Champions League zone, but the gap to sixth place is just one point. The table is incredibly tight: between third and eighth place there are only six points. So the fight for a ticket to Europe’s top tournament promises to be intense.
Lecce is also fighting its own battle, but for survival. The team is in 17th place and trails 18th by only two points. Here, too, the competition is fierce: between the 16th and 19th placed team there is a difference of only six points. Lecce is going through a difficult stretch and has failed to win in the last eight matches, with five defeats and three draws. The team has the fourth-worst defence in the league, so they will have to work hard to keep their place in Serie A.
