Lecce vs Juventus Match Preview: Serie A Showdown
Lecce host Juventus at Stadio Via del Mare in Lecce on 2026-05-09. The Serie A clash comes in Regular Season - 36, with Lecce sitting 17th on 32 points and Juventus 4th on 65 points and tracking toward Champions League qualification.
Lecce Availability
Lecce face multiple absences in midfield and defence.
- 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 listed in the squad, so Roberto D’Aversa will need to reshuffle both his defensive line and attacking support zones, especially with Berisha unavailable as a creative midfield option.
Juventus Availability
Massimiliano Allegri has fewer concerns but still loses a key striker option.
- A. Milik (Muscle Injury) is sidelined.
- J. Cabal (Muscle Injury) is doubtful.
With Milik out, Juventus must lean even more on a deep attacking unit featuring J. David, L. Openda, D. Vlahović and leading contributor K. Yıldız, who has produced 10 goals and 6 assists in Serie A.
Impact Summary
Lecce’s absences primarily strip depth and balance from midfield and defence rather than raw scoring, in a side that has managed 24 league goals. Juventus, with 58 goals, lose rotational firepower in Milik but retain their main attacking core, so their overall attacking output should remain largely intact.
