Juve aim for a fourth straight win against Lecce

Juventus begin 2026 in front of their home fans against Lecce. Luciano Spalletti’s side are targeting a fourth consecutive victory, something they haven’t managed yet this season, as they continue their climb up the table and chase a top-four finish. Lecce, who have alternated wins and defeats in their last five matches and lost to Como last time out, are seeking valuable points to move further away from the relegation zone.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

There have been 22 official meetings in Turin between the two sides: Juventus have won 16 (most recently 2–1 in Serie A 2024/25), there have been five draws (most recently 1–1 in Serie A 2011/12) and one win for the Giallorossi (4–3 in Serie A 2003/04).

Juventus have scored in 21 of their 22 home games in Piedmont against the Salentini; the only exception was a 0–0 draw in Serie A 1990/91. In those 21 matches in which they found the net, the Bianconeri scored a total of 54 goals.

The Salentini’s only win away to Juventus in Turin dates back to 25 April 2004: a 4–3 victory, with goals from Franceschini, a brace from Konan, and Chevanton for the visitors; Trezeguet, Maresca and Del Piero scored for the hosts. Coaches: Marcello Lippi for Juventus and Delio Rossi for the visitors.
