Lecce vs Juventus: Serie A Clash Set for December 1, 2024

Lecce and Juventus are set to face off in a crucial Serie A match on Sunday, December 1, 2024, at the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare in Lecce, Italy. The game is scheduled to kick off at 16:45 local time and will be broadcast live on Disney+, Disney+ Premium, and ESPN for viewers in the United States.

The match is part of the 14th round of the Italian Serie A and holds significant importance for both teams. Juventus, currently sixth in the league with 25 points from 13 games, is looking to maintain its position in the title race. Despite being unbeaten in their last seven games, Juventus has only managed two wins during this period, drawing the other five matches. The team is dealing with several injuries, including key players like Dusan Vlahovic, Arkadiusz Milik, and Bremer.

Lecce, on the other hand, is struggling to stay afloat, sitting 17th in the league with 12 points from 13 games. They have shown some resilience recently, losing only one of their last four games, including a crucial away win against Venezia. However, Lecce faces the challenge of potentially missing up to six players, including Lameck Banda, who suffered a broken ankle.

The historical head-to-head favors Juventus, with the team not having lost to Lecce in their last six encounters in Serie A. The probable line-ups for the match see Lecce likely to field a 4-3-3 formation with Falcone in goal, while Juventus may opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation, potentially with Mattia Perin in goal and Danilo replacing the injured Nicolo Savona at right-back.

The referee for the match will be Antonio Rapuano. Given the current form and historical context, the match is expected to be closely contested, with Juventus aiming to secure a vital win to stay in the title hunt, while Lecce seeks to avoid a defeat that could keep them on the brink of relegation.
