Lecce vs Juventus Match Preview: Serie A Clash

Match Context

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, pushing for Champions League qualification.

Lecce Availability

Lecce face several absences in midfield and defence. M. Berisha (Thigh Injury) is sidelined. S. Fofana (Inactive) is sidelined. K. Gaspar (Knee Injury) is sidelined. In attack, R. Sottil (Back Injury) is doubtful. This cluster of issues particularly affects Lecce’s depth in central areas and their ability to rotate at the back.

Juventus Availability

Juventus have fewer concerns but still lose an attacking option. A. Milik (Muscle Injury) is sidelined, removing an experienced striker from their bench options. In defence, J. Cabal (Muscle Injury) is doubtful, which may slightly limit rotation at the back.

Impact Summary

Lecce, with only 24 league goals from 35 matches, can ill afford creative and structural absences, and the loss of M. Berisha’s presence in midfield further reduces their attacking ceiling. Juventus, by contrast, retain key creators and scorers: K. Yıldız (10 goals, 6 assists), J. David (6 goals, 4 assists) and W. McKennie (5 goals, 5 assists) are all available, preserving the core of a 58-goal attack despite Milik’s absence.
