Lecce vs Juventus Preview: Serie A Match on May 9, 2026

Lecce host Juventus at Stadio Via del Mare in Lecce on 2026-05-09, in Serie A Regular Season - 36. The standings show Lecce in 17th place on 32 points, while Juventus sit 4th with 65 points and a strong goal difference of 28.

Lecce Availability

Lecce face several midfield and defensive absences. M. Berisha (Thigh Injury) is sidelined. S. Fofana (Inactive) is sidelined. K. Gaspar (Knee Injury) is sidelined. R. Sottil (Back Injury) is doubtful. This cluster of issues affects both their build-up and defensive stability, with Berisha’s creativity from midfield notably missing.

Juventus Availability

Juventus have fewer concerns but still lose a forward option. A. Milik (Muscle Injury) is sidelined, removing an experienced attacking alternative. J. Cabal (Muscle Injury) is doubtful, which could slightly reduce their depth in defensive rotations.

Impact Summary

From a pure attacking-output perspective, Juventus remain largely intact: key creator and scorer K. Yıldız (10 goals, 6 assists) is available, as are fellow contributors W. McKennie (5 goals, 5 assists) and J. David (6 goals, 4 assists). Lecce’s absences are more about structure than headline numbers, but losing Berisha in particular limits their ability to link midfield to attack, a concern for a side with only 24 league goals so far.
