Juventus vs Lecce: The Mission to Secure the Top Four in the Standings

– Juventus are determined to end the deadlock in the last five matches when they host Lecce in Serie A at the Allianz Stadium, Wednesday (3/5/2023) evening WIB.

In the last match, Juventus drew against Bologna last weekend. Meanwhile, in last week’s match, Lecce managed to score a win to stay four points away from the relegation zone.

After being eliminated from the Coppa Italia, now Juventus, who are in third place, are focused on securing a position in the European zone. Juve’s main target right now is to retain their top four spot in Serie A. But their recent struggles have left seventh-placed Atalanta just five points adrift of them with six matches remaining.

Both Milan and Roma are also behind Bianconeri. Juventus’ position was boosted up to the top table after the 15 point deduction penalty was cancelled.

However, it is possible that the penalty will be reinstated, so nothing is certain at the Allianz Stadium.

What is clear is that Coach Massimiliano Allegri is under heavy pressure at the moment. His decision to constantly tinker with line-ups and formations has drawn criticism from fans.

Only victory can ease the pressure a little. The opportunity is very big when you look at Lecce, which has won only four times from 33 meetings with “The Old Lady”.

Juventus: Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Iling, Fagioli, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; soule; Owned by
