Lecce vs Juventus preview

Lecce sit just outside the relegation zone after losing their last two league games and they will be hoping to get at least one point from this game.

The Giallorossi played well in the defeats to Palermo and Catania, but failed to hold on to their lead in either of the games before leaving the field empty-handed.

Boss Gigi De Canio faces a real selection headache as Gustavo, Jeda, Ruben Olivera and Guillermo Giacomazzi are all suspended, while Nenad Tomovic, Ofere and Alberto Giuliatto remain injury doubts.

Juventus, on the other hand, returned to the running for the Champions League places with back to back victories over Cagliari and Inter, and the Bianconeri are now 1.67 (2/3) to win at Via Del Mare.

January signings Alessandro Matri and Andrea Barzagli have been in impressive form and they will keep their place in the side, which means Giorgio Chiellini will continue at left-back.

Momo Sissoko is suspended after the booking against Inter, while Leandro Rinaudo, Fabio Quagliarella and Armand Traore remain in the infirmary.
