Juventus v Lecce Betting Tips [3 May 2023]

Juventus need to lift their Serie A form or risk their chances of a top-four finish as they come up against a Lecce side that needs points in its quest to move away from the relegation zone. Ahead of this round, the hosts are 3rd and are followed by three teams, all level on three points lower. As for the visitors, they are 16th in the standings and are four points above the bottom-three. Juventus were held to a 1-1 draw by Bologna last weekend extending their five-game winless run in all competitions. Even in the league, they are without a win across four matches, drawing one and losing three. With Inter Milan, AC Milan and AS Roma breathing down its neck, the Old Lady can hardly afford another drop of points. Thankfully they have been impressive at home winning nine of their last 12 Serie A matches here, drawing one and losing two.

Lecce had a morale-boosting 1-0 win over Juventus on last match day, a result that halted an eight-game winless run where they lost seven matches. This win increased their gap to the relegation by four points and boosted their chances of safety. The visitors could be forgiven about planning for key relegation battles ahead against teams like Verona and Spezia than plot a downfall of a top-four chasing side. Yet, they can’t be taken lightly as Lecce have held their own in the reverse fixture only losing by a solitary goal.
