🚨 Confirmed XIs: Juve aiming to kick off the year with a win

1 week ago 2

Juventus hosts Lecce this Saturday, January 3rd, at the Allianz Stadium, aiming to maintain their excellent momentum and break into the Champions League spots. The Turin team is in top form after closing 2025 with five wins in six matches, standing out for their defensive solidity and lethal counterattack.

Despite the long-term absence of Vlahovic, the hosts welcome back Francisco Conceição, although he might start from the bench. Meanwhile, Lecce is going through a critical moment after falling 0-3 to Como. The visitors will be without their coach, Eusebio Di Francesco, who is suspended, and Lassana Coulibaly (AFCON).

The key statistic lies in physical endurance: Lecce is the team that concedes the most goals in the last 30 minutes of play (12). Juventus will look to exploit this late-game weakness to close the gap with the leader and solidify their great form in Serie A.
