Lecce's season has been a challenging one, but the team has gradually distanced itself from the relegation zone under the leadership of Luca Gotti, who took charge late last year.
They now face a Juventus side still grappling with the transition to Thiago Motta's tactical approach. Despite mounting pressure throughout the campaign, Gotti has seen his side's fortunes improve, with just one loss in their last four Serie A outings.
Their ultra-defensive strategy has been pivotal in keeping them out of the bottom three, though it has come at the expense of offensive productivity. Lecce has managed only six goals in 13 league games—five fewer than any other side. Their most recent outing saw them claim a narrow 1-0 victory over Venezia, courtesy of a 70th-minute strike from Patrick Dorgu.
On the other hand, Juventus lured Motta from Bologna after he guided them to a fifth-place finish last season and their first UEFA Champions League qualification in over six decades. Tasked with rejuvenating Juventus through a younger, more dynamic playing style, Motta's efforts have so far yielded uninspiring results.
While Juventus remains the only unbeaten team in Serie A with six wins and seven draws, their performances have often lacked excitement. They currently sit sixth in the standings ahead of Matchday 14, with a string of low-scoring encounters defining their campaign. Their midweek goalless draw against Aston Villa in the UEFA Champions League marked their fifth scoreless stalemate across all competitions this season.
