Prediction: 0-1
Juventus
Stadio Via del Mare will be packed when Lecce and Juventus lock horns in the Serie A round 14. The Giallorossi desperately needed a win against Venezia and they managed to get one thanks to Patrick Dorgu’s goal and, no doubt, they are high on confidence ahead of the visit of Juve. Despite failing to find the net against I Lagunari, a man to watch in the home team will be Nikola Krstovic, who scored a hat-trick for Montenegro in a 3-1 win over Turkey. All Berisha, Banda, and Pierret are out of contention with injuries, while duo Burnete – Bonifazi will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The Bianconeri, on the other hand, head into Sunday’s clash following a goalless draw with Milan. Thiago Motta’s men are eager to stay in the Scudetto race and given their recent record at Stadio Via del Mare (3-1-0), away win should be considered. Key attacker Dusan Vlahovic faces race against the clock to be fit, while the likes of Milik, Adzic, Cabal, and Bremer remain in the recovery room. Nico Gonzalez and Douglas Luiz are major doubts as well.
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.

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.
