Juventus host Lecce at the Allianz Stadium this Saturday, aiming to sustain their excellent recent Serie A form.
The Old Lady have just one defeat in nine outings and will bid to narrow the distance to table-topping Inter Milan.
Juventus closed out 2025 on a high note, securing a 2-0 triumph against Pisa that underscored the defensive resilience and offensive sharpness that defined their impressive December run – five wins from six fixtures.

Juventus team news
Francisco Conceição, sidelined by a thigh knock sustained versus Roma on December 14, participated fully in Thursday’s training and remains in contention for selection, although the Portuguese forward might not feature from the outset.
Dusan Vlahovic continues his extended absence, with no return anticipated before March following his serious groin injury. Carlo Pinsoglio, Federico Gatti, and Juan Cabal are questionable for the clash and could sit it out, while Daniele Rugani’s calf problem rules him out until February.
Lois Openda is the preferred choice right now for the central striker role, backed by primary playmaker Yildiz. Yildiz ranks third in Serie A goal contributions this season with 10, trailing only the Argentine duo of Nico Paz and Lautaro Martinez.
Juventus predicted lineup
Possible Juventus starting XI: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly; McKennie, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Koopmeiners, Yildiz; Openda.
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 5pm BST on Saturday, 3rd January.
