Lecce vs Juventus Match Preview: Serie A Showdown

Match Context

Lecce host Juventus at Stadio Via del Mare in Lecce on 2026-05-09, in Serie A Regular Season - 36. Lecce come in sitting 17th on 32 points with a goal difference of -23, while Juventus are 4th on 65 points and pushing for 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. In addition, R. Sottil (Back Injury) is doubtful. This cluster of issues particularly affects Lecce’s options in building play through midfield and their defensive depth on the left side.

Juventus Availability

Juventus have fewer concerns but still lose an attacking option. A. Milik (Muscle Injury) is sidelined, removing an experienced striker from their rotation. At the back, J. Cabal (Muscle Injury) is doubtful, which could slightly reduce flexibility in defensive selections.

Impact Summary

Lecce have scored 24 league goals, so losing creators like M. Berisha and defender K. Gaspar is a notable hit to an already limited attacking output. Juventus, with 58 goals, retain their primary attacking threats: leading scorer and creator K. Yıldız (10 goals, 6 assists) remains available, as do key contributors W. McKennie (5 goals, 5 assists) and J. David (6 goals, 4 assists). The attacking loss is therefore heavier for Lecce than for Juventus.
