Juventus take on Lecce away from home in a Serie A fixture on Saturday at Stadio Via del Mare. After being ousted from the Champions League following a defeat to Benfica, Massimiliano Allegri's men will be looking to bounce back in the domestic competition. They have, however, had a troubled start to their league campaign and are in eighth place with 13 points from 11 matches.
Marco Baroni's side, meanwhile, have drawn their last four matches at home and against a disjointed Juventus side they will fancy their chances. The Serie B champions have, however, found it difficult to settle into the top flight and are just two points off the relegation zone.

Juventus team news and squad
Allegri has a few absentees in Angel Di Maria, Leandro Paredes, Bremer, Paul Pogba and Mattia De Sciglio. Ex-Manchester United midfielder Pogba has returned to training although he is unlikely to be risked against Lecce.
Federico Chiesa, meanwhile, is another who is unlikely to be available to face Lecce despite having recovered from his ACL injury. Samuel Illing-Junior might be handed a start after he impressed against Benfica.
Arkadiusz Milik is likely to join Dusan Vlahovic in attack. Danilo, Leonardo Bonucci and Federico Gatti are likely to form a three-man backline on front of goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.
