US Lecce
Lecce, a Puglian club, has managed to score only one goal this month, despite being beaten twice by Juventus last season. New coach Roberto D’Aversa has led Lecce to 11 points in their first five league fixtures. This made them go unbeaten at this stage of a top-flight campaign for the first time. Lecce also reached the Coppa Italia’s second round. They held Monza and Fiorentina to draws, and beaten Lazio, Salernitana, and Genoa. Remi Oudin’s deflected strike in the 83rd minute split the sides, and Nikola Krstovic also came close. D’Aversa hopes that Lecce’s fine form will continue in the coming days, as they face two tough tests in Naples on Saturday. Currently, they have nothing to fear from Napoli or Turin’s Old Lady.
Federco Baschirotto, who missed their last match due to suspension, is returning in this match, which will work for their advantage. Kastriot Dermaku on the other hand is also expected to return here, after recovering from his muscular issue. Unfortunately, Lameck Banda is also sidelined due to his thigh injury.
Juventus
Juventus were on track to regain Scudetto contention after several years of decline. However, their collapse ended in a dark comedy with Federico Gatti scoring a believable own goal. Head coach Max Allegri is concerned about the team’s ability to replicate their form from their recent win against Sassuolo. Juventus struggled to field the same starting lineup for consecutive games over a remarkable 112-match period of constant change, but Federico Chiesa remains fit and scored again at the weekend. The Italian striker will now face an effective defensive set-up in the division. Juve shipped four in 90 minutes at Sassuolo, but the hosts have conceded the same total in five games so far, making it difficult to rectify the situation at the first opportunity.
Arkadiuszx Milik, and Nicolo Fagioli, are likely to be promoted from the bench. Unfortunately, Alex Sandro, and Mattia De Sciglio remains to be unavailable due to their injuries. Moise Kean could also miss out in this match.

Juventus (1.0)
