Lecce vs Juventus Preview: Serie A Matchup

Lecce host Juventus at Stadio Via del Mare in Lecce on 2026-05-09. The Serie A fixture comes in the Regular Season - 36 round, with Lecce sitting 17th on 32 points and Juventus 4th on 65 points, pushing for Champions League qualification.

Lecce Availability

Lecce face multiple absences. M. Berisha (Thigh Injury) is sidelined. S. Fofana (Inactive) is sidelined. K. Gaspar (Knee Injury) is sidelined. R. Sottil (Back Injury) is doubtful. All four are drawn from the first-team list, with Berisha a creative midfield option and Gaspar a central defensive presence. Their unavailability stretches Lecce’s depth in both buildup and defensive stability.

Juventus Availability

Juventus are in stronger shape but not at full strength. A. Milik (Muscle Injury) is sidelined, removing an experienced attacking alternative. J. Cabal (Muscle Injury) is doubtful, potentially limiting defensive rotation. Crucially, leading attacker K. Yıldız (10 goals, 6 assists in Serie A) is available, as are key creators W. McKennie (5 goals, 5 assists) and J. David (6 goals, 4 assists).

Impact Summary

Lecce, with only 24 league goals, lose useful squad pieces rather than primary scorers, but their already limited attacking output may suffer from reduced options. Juventus, on 58 goals, retain their main attacking core; the sidelining of Milik slightly trims depth but does not significantly diminish their primary goal threat.
