Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Juventus
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-0
Lecce
Following a 1-1 draw with AS Roma at Stadio Olimpico, Juventus will look to return to winning ways in the Serie A when they host Lecce to their Allianz Stadium on Saturday evening. The Bianconeri are determined to climb to the Champions League. Therefore, they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach against Lecce. Both Bremer and Gatti remain on the sidelines with injuries, while Arkadiusz Milik is a major doubt.
The Giallorossi, on the other hand, came from behind to share the spoils with Venezia. As Lecce have already suffered ten defeats on the road this term, we are tempted to place our bets on Juventus. In their last meeting in Turin, Juventus defeated Lecce 1-0 and we predict a similar outcome this time out. Midfielder Filip Marchwinski remains in the recovery room, but the 23-year-old should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Weston McKennie):
After starting his youth career at FC Dallas, Weston McKennie moved to Germany in the summer of 2016, signing a contract with Bundesliga side Schalke 04. The American footballer made his Bundesliga debut on May 20, 2017, coming as a substitute in the 77th minute of the match.
The talented midfielder scored his first goal in the German elite division on August 6, 2018 in a 2-0 win at Fortuna Dusseldorf. Speaking of his international career, the Schalke footballer made his debut with United States of America on November 14, 2017 in a friendly against Portugal, finding the net on his debut.
Weston McKennie has two caps for the USA U20 team as well. His main position is central midfield, but he used as both defensive and attacking midfielder as well. The USA international was born in Fort Lewis, Washington on August 28, 1998. His preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Lecce):
When you imagine a yellow-red shirt, Lecce must be the first club that comes to your mind. Founded back in 1908, Lecce are Italian club that will compete in the Serie A in the 2019/2020 season. The Giallorossi return to the Italian top flight following a seven-year absence and, as always, they will host their rivals at Stadio Via del Mare.
The venue which was opened on September 11, 1966 can hold up to 33,876 people. The likes of Antonio Conte, Graziano Pelle, Javier Chevanton, Juan Cuadrado, Mirko Vucinic, Fabrizio Miccoli and Massimo Oddo are one of the most notable footballers who played for the Italian club in the past.
Lecce and Gallipoli face each other in the Salento derby and there have been fireworks in meetings between the two clubs since the 2009/2010 Serie B season when they first met in the league.
