Comments and predictions for Juventus vs Lecce: Vlahovic shines
The match between Juventus vs Lecce in Serie A takes place at 1:45 a.m. on April 13. Nghe An Newspaper analyzes performance, makes football comments and predicts the score.
Latest Juventus vs Lecce squad information
Juventus will be without centre-back Federico Gatti, goalkeeper Mattia Perin and young talent Samuel Mbangula due to injury. However, Khephren Thuram is likely to recover from a minor muscle injury in time to play.
Coach Igor Tudor may make a few changes, but captain Manuel Locatelli is certain to start in midfield. The midfielder leads Serie A in completed passes and is third in Europe for defensive breaks – behind only Kimmich and Xhaka.
Up front, Dusan Vlahovic will be the front man in a 3-4-2-1 formation. However, he has not scored since February and could be replaced or supported by Randal Kolo Muani – who is also on a long-term goal drought.
Lecce are almost fully fit, with Filip Marchwinski the only long-term casualty. Striker Nikola Krstovic will continue to be their main hope in attack, having hit 10 goals this season. Behind him, Lecce still struggle, with only three players scoring more than once all season – Patrick Dorgu is now out of the club.
Latest expected lineup Juventus vs Lecce
Juventus:
Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Veiga, Kelly; Cambiaso, Locatelli, Thuram, McKennie; Gonzalez, Yildiz; Vlahovic
Lecce:
Falcone; Guilbert, Gaspar, Baschirotto, Gallo; Coulibaly, Ramadani; Pierotti, Helgason, Morente; Krstovic
Latest Juventus vs Lecce football review
Juventus just had a regrettable draw at the Olimpico when Roma equalized 1-1 after the opening goal from a beautiful long-range shot by captain Manuel Locatelli. The Italian midfielder continued to maintain his impressive form with 3/4 of his recent goals scored from outside the penalty area, but this time the shot could not help the "Old Lady" keep all 3 points.
The result leaves Juventus just one point behind fourth-placed Bologna with seven games remaining. With inconsistent form and early exits from both the European Cup and Coppa Italia, Juve have just 56 points – their worst tally after 31 games since the 2010–11 season.
Juventus secured a narrow 1-0 win over Genoa in their first home game under interim coach Igor Tudor and now head back to the Allianz Stadium hoping to pick up some vital points to keep them in the race for a top-four finish.
Despite their less-than-convincing form this season, Juve have an impressive home record: they have won five of their last six games, as many as they have in their previous 16 home games combined. In particular, they have kept the most clean sheets at home in 2025.
In addition, Juventus have won 13 of their 18 home games against Lecce in Serie A, losing just once. History is on their side.
On the other side of the front line, Lecce has only won 4/37 matches against Juventus in the history of the tournament, and failed to score in 18 matches. However, they held the "Old Lady" to a 1-1 draw in the first leg thanks to a last-minute equalizer from Ante Rebic.
Lecce are currently two points above the relegation zone and are still struggling to stay in Serie A. Last week, they drew 1-1 with second-bottom Venezia thanks to a goal from centre-back Federico Baschirotto – who has played every minute of Serie A this season.
However, Lecce are on an eight-game winless streak – their worst since 2023. A trip to Turin is clearly not a pleasant one in the current circumstances.
