Can the hosts secure crucial points in the relegation battle?
This matchup involves two very different goals, which makes the Lecce vs. Juventus prediction all the more exciting. On one side, the hosts, who still need points in their fight to avoid relegation. And on the other side, the Old Lady, who is still in the running for a spot in the Champions League.
So both sides will have to give it their all. Juventus is clearly the favorite, no question, but Lecce has home-field advantage and is unbeaten in three games. On top of that, the first leg ended in a draw.
Juve has won most of its matches in recent weeks, but there have also been two draws recently. Nevertheless, coach Luciano Spalletti’s team must be considered the favorite in the Lecce – Juventus prediction.
Although Lecce has home-field advantage, it has only resulted in four wins this season. They lost eight other matches. Juventus, on the other hand, has won the majority of its away games. Accordingly, you can bet on an away win where neither team scores. Bookmaker bet365 offers odds of 2.37 for this.
The visitors desperately need a win to keep their chances of reaching the Champions League alive. It is also potentially possible for them to come from behind. Therefore, you can also bet on an away win with a handicap.
Lecce – Juventus Head-to-Head Record
The head-to-head record supports the clear Lecce vs. Juventus betting odds, as the Old Lady holds a very clear lead here. Since the 1970s, there have been 47 matches, of which Juve has won 31. Lecce has only emerged victorious four times, and that was already 11 games ago.
However, there have been two draws in the last three meetings. In early January, the Giallorossi picked up a point on the road. That was a bit of a fluke, as Juve had significantly more possession and chances. 72% to 28% possession and 25 to 6 chances. These are also reasons why the Old Lady must be favored for Saturday.
Lecce – Juventus Prediction
Juventus has dropped many important points this season, most recently in the two draws against Milan and Hellas Verona. This makes the match in Lecce all the more important, as they currently hold only a one-point lead over AS Roma.
An away win is possible, especially since Lecce isn’t a force to be reckoned with even at home. You can bet on the away win combined with the prediction that neither team will score. Lecce has failed to score in four of their last six matches.
Juventus has what it takes to score three goals. Accordingly, you can bet on over 2.5 goals. You can also bet on the Old Lady to win with a one-goal handicap.
Currently, Lecce is four points ahead of the relegation zone. With three matchdays remaining, that might be enough. Things are looking tighter for Juventus, which is in 4th place but has AS Roma right on its heels.
