In the previous league fixture, Juventus suffered
a 2-4 defeat away to Sassuolo, marking their first loss of the season. With no
European competitions to contend with, Juventus have an advantage in focusing
on domestic league matches. Starting the season with a record of three wins and
one draw, Juventus had been unbeaten prior to the unfortunate result in the
last round. Despite the setback, Juventus have displayed resilience in recent
games, maintaining composure in challenging situations and capitalising on
crucial opportunities. This determination and perseverance will play a
significant role in their pursuit of the championship in the new season.

Lecce have certainly made an impressive start to
this Serie A season. In their most recent league match, they secured a 1-0
victory against Genoa at home. With three wins and two draws in the first five
rounds, Lecce have displayed good form and remains undefeated. While they may
not possess exceptional overall strength compared to other teams, Lecce have
relied on solid defence and excellent organisation to overcome their opponents.
They excel in controlling the game with a stable rhythm and have demonstrated a
certain offensive threat. Thus far, Lecce have scored eight goals while
conceding only four, showcasing a balanced performance in both attack and
defence.
Even both sides made a good start of this season,
considering the overall strength and historical record, Juventus have generally
been the stronger team compared to Lecce. They also have consistently performed
well against Lecce in their previous encounters, maintaining an unbeaten record
of four wins and two draws in their last six meetings. This historical
advantage suggests that Juventus hold the upper hand in this match-up.
Furthermore, playing at home provides an additional advantage for Juventus,
increasing the optimism for them to secure all three points in the game.
