The final game of the Serie A weekend takes place on Sunday evening, with Juventus, currently second in the league, travelling to take on Lecce, a team in the bottom half of the table. With many other top sides away in the Italian Super Cup, it's a chance for Juventus to go top, and put the pressure on Inter Milan when they return.
Lecce Form GuideLecce have had a fairly decent season so far, but they have actually only won four games out of 20 in the league. They've drawn a further nine, which has certainly helped their points total, given them 21 so far. However, they've not been playing well recently, coming here on the back of four games without a win, and just one point from them.
They were beaten 1-0 by Lazio last weekend, and other losses have come against Atalanta and Inter Milan recently. Their point came in a draw with Cagliari, a team near the bottom of the table and struggling. In those four games, they have scored just one goal, highlighting their main problem right now.
Juventus Form GuideJuventus are having a very good season so far, they've won 15 and drawn four of their 20 games, with just one defeat, and that's given them 49 points. They are two behind Inter Milan, but Inter are away in Saudi Arabia, and not playing this weekend, so a win for Juventus here would send them to the top of the league, and pile on the pressure to Inter, when they return home.
Juventus have won their last four league games in a row, and they've won twice in the cup during that period, so it's six in a row, and on top of that, they've scored 18 goals in those games, they are really firing right now. They look set for a title battle, with either one or two other rivals, and this is the kind of psychological advantage that could help them with that.
Match PredictionI am going with Juventus to win this game. I think they've got a really good side, are flying at the moment, and take on a Lecce side who are not performing at their best right now. It's a Juventus win, and them going to the top of the table.
