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 is part of the Regular Season - 36, with Lecce sitting 17th on 32 points and Juventus 4th on 65 points.
Lecce Availability
Lecce face several absences in midfield and defense.
- M. Berisha (Thigh Injury) is sidelined.
- S. Fofana (Inactive) is sidelined.
- K. Gaspar (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
- R. Sottil (Back Injury) is doubtful.
These issues hit Lecce’s depth across the spine of the team, with Berisha and Gaspar both listed as key squad members in midfield and defense respectively.
Juventus Availability
Juventus travel without one senior attacker and have a defensive doubt.
- A. Milik (Muscle Injury) is sidelined.
- J. Cabal (Muscle Injury) is doubtful.
While Milik’s absence removes an experienced option up front, Juventus’ primary attacking output remains intact: leading scorer and creator K. Yıldız (10 goals, 6 assists) is available, supported by fellow contributor W. McKennie (5 goals, 5 assists).
Impact Summary
Lecce’s missing players primarily reduce their defensive solidity and midfield control rather than pure goal threat, which is significant for a side with only 24 league goals. Juventus, who have scored 58 times, lose depth in attack through Milik but retain their main sources of goals and assists, leaving their overall attacking potential largely unaffected.
