Lecce know that a shock result against Juventus could all but secure their survival as the relegation battle in Serie A enters its decisive phase.
The hosts appear to be finding form at the perfect moment, which could be a boost for them in this relegation battle.
Their current three-match unbeaten run has created a valuable four-point cushion above the relegation zone, easing some of the pressure heading into the final rounds.
Last weekend’s 2-1 win over Pisa was especially important, though tougher opposition now awaits.
Their record against the league’s elite has been poor, with each of their last six home games against current top-seven sides ending in defeat.
Juventus, meanwhile, suffered a setback in their top-four pursuit after being held 1-1 by already relegated Hellas Verona.
That result cut their advantage inside the Champions League places to just one point, increasing the pressure ahead of the run-in.
Away form has at least been improving, with three consecutive road clean sheets helping the Bianconeri put together a four-match unbeaten away streak.
However, despite Lecce’s lowly position, Juventus have surprisingly managed just one away clean sheet this season against sides starting the round in the bottom six.

Whispers predicts: Lecce 0-2 Juventus
The recent form of the visitors suggests they have the stability required to navigate a difficult away fixture without many hiccups.
While Lecce secured a win in their last outing, their overall season record of 19 losses highlights a vulnerability that a team of Juventus' calibre should exploit.
The bookmakers have positioned the away side as the clear favourite at 1.45 odds. A draw is priced at 4.00, and an upset victory for the hosts is the long-shot result at 7.00 odds.
Other markets offer interesting value, such as under 2.5 goals at 1.80, considering the hosts' low scoring rate and the visitors' disciplined defensive structure.
Both teams to score "No" is also a strong proposition at 1.80, given that the Salentini have struggled to find the net frequently this season.
For those seeking higher returns, a Juventus win with a clean sheet is currently trading around 2.50.
> Away to win at 1.45 | Likelihood: Probable
> Under 2.5 goals at 1.80 | Likelihood: Probable
> Both teams to score - No at 1.80 | Likelihood: Possible
> Juventus to win to nil at 2.50 | Likelihood: Possible
