Juventus take on the visitors Lecce in the round 33 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 3rd at Allianz Stadium (Turin).
In April, "The Old Lady" achieved a crucial victory, not on the football field, but in court, where they managed to cancel a 15-point penalty. This allowed them to return to the group of leaders in Serie A, which once again highlighted how successful Allegri and his team have been this season. Yes, there were 5 losses in the Champions League group stage in the fall, but after moving to the Europa League, the Italians have already passed three rounds, facing opponents such as "Nantes", "Freiburg" and Lisbon's "Sporting". The Portuguese created a lot of problems, but in the end, they were eliminated, making it to the semifinals of the tournament. The same round was played in the framework of the national cup when after a 1-1 draw in Turin, the "Bianconeri" traveled to Inter. Little worked out in Milan, as they did not respond to Dimarco's goal and ultimately lost. Meanwhile, in Serie A, as if to compensate for the victory in court, there were not only defeats to "Lazio" and "Napoli", but also to "Sassuolo". They only managed to equalize the score against "Bologna" after the break thanks to Milik's goal.

Lecce risk becoming victims of their own complacency and may repeat the unsuccessful experience of their previous promotion to Serie A. Under Livorani's leadership, they managed to show good football, but it all ended with relegation at the end of their first season. With Marco Baroni in 2020, they won Serie B. Moreover, their statistics at the new-old level were good, with up to 3 consecutive wins, and in February, "Lecce" took 7 points in 3 matches. At that time, it seemed that they had secured themselves a comfortable finish, as the trio of outsiders in Serie A looked de facto settled. However, the newcomer to the division was showing very poorly, and they were not even awakened by the surge of "Verona". They only managed to take 1 draw, and that was against "Sampdoria", which had dropped to the bottom of the table by April – so that 1-1 cannot be credited to their record. Moreover, after that, they lost 0-2 to "Milan". They only managed to pull themselves together against the demotivated "Udinese", but even then, they only scored one penalty goal in the middle of the second half.
"Old Lady", of course, has won the majority of their head-to-head football matches. Including this season, the Turin grand won on "Lecce" field in October thanks to the only goal from Fajoli in the 73rd minute. Judging by the odds, there is almost no doubt in the victory of the "Old Lady". However, it is even more obvious that there should not be high scoring in this match - we bet on "Total under 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
