Juventus vs Lecce Predictions

• Juventus have seen under 2.5 goals land in eight of their 14 victories this term
• The hosts have failed to generate 1.0 xG in their last four matches
• Lecce have conceded exactly once in four of their last six matches

Juve to grind out victory

Juventus are on the up after dispatching Thiago Motta, with the club going back to basics under Igor Tudor. The Old Lady lost 4-0 to Atalanta and 3-0 to Fiorentina in Motta’s final two matches, but they’ve bounced back. Tudor’s first game brought a 1-0 win over Genoa, while they held in-form Roma to a 1-1 draw last weekend.

Expect a business-like approach from Juve for the remainder of the campaign. The Italian giants haven’t been free-flowing all season, with the majority of their games featuring under 2.5 goals. Eight of their 14 Serie A victories have been either 1-0 or 2-0, while they’ve generated less than 1.0 xG in each of their previous four.

Lecce head to Turin having conceded exactly once in four of their previous six games. The visitors are goal-shy on their travels, but they’ve conceded more than twice in only three of their 15 trips.

The visitors have done a good job away to Italy’s top ides, losing 2-0 at Inter Milan and going down 1-0 at Napoli, Bologna and Fiorentina. Back them to frustrate the hosts, with a home win and under 2.5 goals the standout bet in this clash.
