Lecce vs Juventus Predictions

• Lecce have failed to score in nine of their last 14 games
• Juventus have kept three successive clean sheets
• They have also gone unbeaten away from home in the league this season

Goals are Lecce’s problem

Lecce head into this round sitting just outside of the Serie A relegation zone, and the reason for their struggles is clear: they simply do not score enough goals.

In fact, no team has netted fewer times this season, with the Yellow and Reds breaching the opposition’s just defence on just six occasions in 13 league fixtures

They have fired blanks in 11 of their last 14 games across all competitions, with eight of those clashes ending in defence, three of them by a slender 1-0 margin.

Water-tight Juve will be tough to break down

It does not bode well for Lecce then that their next opponents are the team with the division’s best defence, Juventus, who have conceded only seven times so far.

Thiago Motta’s side have in fact kept three successive clean sheets, including a 0-0 draw against Aston Villa in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.

And they are ominously unbeaten away from home in Serie A too, picking up three wins and three draws so far.

I predict that Juventus will win this game to nil, selecting 1-0 as a correct score prediction.
