Lecce will invite Juventus to the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare in Serie A action on Saturday.
The home team have just one win to their name this term and are just one place above the relegation zone in the league standings with eight points. They suffered a 2-0 away defeat against Bologna last week, with the hosts scoring twice in the first half through Marko Arnautovic and Lewis Ferguson.
Juventus recorded their second win in as many league games as goals from Moise Kean, Weston McKennie, and Adrien Rabiot helped them to a 4-0 triumph over Empoli. They failed to continue their winning ways in the UEFA Champions League against Benfica on Wednesday, as they fell to a 4-3 defeat.
They have been eliminated from the competition following that loss and will need to secure a win in their final group-stage game against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on Thursday to ensure a place in the UEFA Europa League knockout round playoffs.

Lecce vs Juventus Prediction
The Giallorossi have just one win to their name this season and are winless in their last four league games. After losing their first home game of the season to Inter Milan, they have drawn four home games and will be hopeful of putting in a solid performance here.
The Bianconeri have endured poor form in their travels this season and have failed to score in three of their five away games in Serie A. They have scored just two goals in five away league games and might struggle here. Nonetheless, they have a solid record against the hosts and should be able to eke out a narrow win.
