Juventus will welcome Lecce on Tuesday in the Serie A looking to get back to winning ways. The two teams are bumper to bumper in the standings with third-placed Lecce sitting a point above Juventus in fourth. Juventus suffered a shock 4-2 defeat on Saturday away to Sassuolo to lose their unbeaten start to the season. They will now seek an immediate response and their past success against Lecce will have them confident of doing so. The Bianconeri haven’t lost to their soon-to-be victors in six meetings with four of those matches ending in victory. Massimiliano Allegri’s men had gone unbeaten in eight matches across all competitions before losing to Sassuolo. Six of those matches had ended in victory with three coming in the league. Juventus have amassed 10 points and could be five points off the pace by the time they host Lecce.

Lecce are flying high at this early stage of the season. Roberto D’Aversa’s men are one of two teams yet to succumb to a defeat after five rounds of play. They have won three times and currently sit just one point off top spot. I Lupi were 1-0 winners over Genoa on Friday and will now seek their first away win of the season. All four of their victories, including in the Coppa Italia, have come with them as hosts. This match with Juve will also be their toughest test yet. The Yellow and Reds haven’t played against a team in the top seven. Lecce haven't won away to Juventus since a 4-3 success 19 years ago.
