Lecce will welcome the title-chasing Juventus to the Stadio Ettore Giardiniero this Sunday evening with the Turin outfit looking to carry on their sensational form shown in 2024 so far that sees them with 15 goals in just four games.
Juventus are one of Europe’s most in-form sides this season, and only the unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen across all competitions can boast of a better record right now.

The no European football this season for the men from Turin is obviously helping, and it has allowed Juventus to fight for a league and cup double.
In fact, runs within the Coppa Italia and Serie A right now see the club with a 17-game unbeaten run since they lost to Sassuolo at the Mapei Stadium back in September.
This streak has also witnessed them get a draw against the league leaders, Inter Milan, while the club have also managed to defeat AC Milan, Roma and the champions Napoli within this period.
It's the best run out of all sides sitting in the top flight of Italian football so far this season with Inter managing to lose within the past month.
In 2024, things have got even better for Juventus with a 6-1 thrashing over Salernitana in the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia before beating them 2-1 in the league away from home.
A 4-0 battering against Frosinone at the Allianz Arena would come soon after to push Max Allegri's men into the semi-finals of Coppa Italia.
Juventus got revenge over Sassuolo last time out in Serie A as well, as Dusan Vlahovic scored a stunning free kick alongside another finish. Federico Chiesa also bagged that day.
Vlahović now has nine goals in Serie A for Juventus this season, which means he is one goal short of his best tally for the Old Lady after netting 10 last season.
His efforts also keep Juventus within two points of Inter at the top of the table in what is turning out to be a thrilling Serie A campaign in the top four.
As for Lecce, they sit above the relegation one by four points and are within only nine points of the struggling Roma in ninth.
On the other hand, a loss to Lazio last time out and a 1-1 draw with Cagliari in early January means no wins in the past four games and month for Lecce.
Forebet predicts a win for Juventus and over 2.5 goals.
