There’s something poetic about Juventus rocking up to the sun-soaked south of Italy in the final stretch of a season that’s still got plenty riding on it. Lecce are scrapping for survival; Juve are chasing European positioning. Two very different battles, one pitch. This is must-watch Serie A football.

Lecce, in contrast, are in free fall. They’ve managed just 3 goals across their last 5 matches, losing to Atalanta (0–3) and Bologna (0–2) while mustering only a win over Pisa and a couple of draws. With relegation pressure mounting, nerves will be running high at Via del Mare.
