Lecce will welcome Juventus to Stadio Via del Mare in Serie A on Sunday. The hosts have three wins in 13 games and are in 15th place in the league table. The Bianconeri have six wins to their name and are in sixth place with 25 points, five fewer than league leaders Napoli.
The Lupi are unbeaten in their last two league games and returned to winning ways after three games earlier this week. Patrick Dorgu's second-half strike helped them record a 1-0 away win over Venezia and they kept their fourth clean sheet of the league campaign.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last seven games across all competitions, with five games ending in draws. They resumed their league campaign following the international break with a goalless draw against AC Milan last week. Their poor form continued in the UEFA Champions League meeting against Aston Villa on Wednesday, with another goalless draw.

The Old Lady have played out goalless draws in their last two games and will look to return to winning and goalscoring ways here. They have scored at least once in their last eight games in this fixture while keeping five clean sheets, and are strong favorites.
