Lecce Form and Lineup
Lecce are on a three-match unbeaten run (two draws and a win), but it should be noted that all their opponents are among the five worst teams in the league. Even they had no trouble breaking down the yellow-and-reds' defence. For instance, in the most recent match Pisa scored only once but generated 2.23 xG and had 17 shots. And we should remember that their attack is the second worst in the Serie A.
Key Lecce numbers:
Lecce rank 18th for possession (42.5%).
Lecce are 20th for xG (28) and shots on target (2.4).
Lecce are 12th for accurate cross-field passes (4.1).
Potential Lecce Lineup (4-5-1): Wladimiro Falcone — Danilo Veiga, Jamil Siebert, Tiago Gabriel, Antonino Gallo — Ylber Ramadani, Umar Ngom, Santiago Pierotti, Lassana Coulibaly, Lameck Banda — Walid Cheddira
Unavailable: Medon Berisha, Sadik Fofana (both — injured), Kialonda Gaspar, Riccardo Sottil (doubtful)
Juventus Form and Lineup
Juventus could almost have guaranteed themselves a place in the Champions League in the previous round, but the team failed to beat Verona at home (1:1). Once again the hosts paid for wasting chances and lapses in concentration at the back (29-7 in shots). In the first half of the season this was a familiar scenario for the side coached by Spalletti, but now they cannot afford that, as Roma are only one point behind.
Key Juventus numbers:
Juventus are second in the league for xG (62.7) and shots on target (5.9).
Juventus are second for goals from set pieces (16).
Juventus are top of the league for expected goals against (30.8).
Potential Juventus Lineup (4-3-3): Michele Di Gregorio — Pierre Kalulu, Gleison Bremer, Lloyd Kelly, Andrea Cambiaso — Manuel Locatelli, Khephren Thuram, Weston McKennie — Francisco Conceicao, Dusan Vlahovic, Kenan Yildiz
Unavailable: Juan Cabal, Arkadiusz Milik (both — injured)
