Lecce vs Juventus: Serie A Match Preview

Match Context

Lecce host Juventus at Stadio Via del Mare in Lecce on 2026-05-09. The Serie A fixture comes in the Regular Season - 36 round, with Lecce sitting 17th on 32 points and Juventus 4th on 65 points.

Lecce Availability

Lecce face several absences. M. Berisha (Thigh Injury) is sidelined. S. Fofana (Inactive) is sidelined. K. Gaspar (Knee Injury) is sidelined. R. Sottil (Back Injury) is doubtful. All four are drawn from the registered first-team list, with Berisha a key creative midfielder option and Gaspar part of the central defensive rotation.

Juventus Availability

Juventus have fewer issues but still lose attacking depth. A. Milik (Muscle Injury) is sidelined, removing an experienced striking alternative. J. Cabal (Muscle Injury) is doubtful, potentially limiting defensive options at the back.

Impact Summary

Lecce’s total league output of 24 goals from 35 matches underlines how costly multiple midfield and defensive absences could be, particularly with Berisha missing and Sottil’s status uncertain. Juventus, by contrast, have scored 58 times and retain their leading contributors: K. Yıldız (10 goals, 6 assists) and supporting creators like W. McKennie and J. David are all available. The attacking output lost is therefore significantly heavier on Lecce, while Juventus’ main offensive core remains intact despite Milik being sidelined.
