Lecce-Juventus, Motta still with Weah as 9. Probable formations and TV schedule

Lecce, November 30, 2024 - The Lecce to give continuity to the victory obtained on the pitch Venice. The Juventus to find success again and overcome the difficulties related to the emergency of the full infirmary. On the Sunday Night of the 14th day of Serie A, the Giallorossi and the Bianconeri face each other at the Via del Mare. Marco Giampaolo he could become the first coach in the history of Salento to win both of his first two Serie A games at the helm of Lecce. On the other hand, in the event of a draw, Madama would establish his new record for games drawn in the top division in a single calendar year: he is currently at 17, as only in 1956 had it happened previously.

Previous

Lecce have lost 11 home games against Juventus in Serie A (3W, 4D). They have done worse against no team (11 home defeats also against Inter). The Salento team have scored just one goal in their last four home games against the Turin team in the top flight, failing to score three times, as many as in the previous eight. The Old Lady have won their last two away games against Lecce in Serie A without conceding a goal (1-0, 3-0) and, in general, have never recorded three clean sheets in a row on the Apulian pitch in the top flight (two between November 2004 and October 2005). The Bianconeri have scored three goals in their last away game against Lecce in Serie A, as many as they scored in their previous four at home to the Apulian team in the competition.

The curiosity 

Lecce – victorious in Venice – have not managed to collect two consecutive wins in Serie A since April (against Empoli and Sassuolo). The team from Puglia drew their last home match in Serie A (1-1 against Empoli) and could record two consecutive “X” signs in front of their fans in the competition for the first time since November-December 2023 (against Milan and Bologna in that case). Juventus are one of three unbeaten teams in the current top five European leagues (along with Bayern Munich and PSG), as well as being one of the two with the fewest goals conceded (seven, on par with the Bavarians) and the one with the most clean sheets overall (10). The Turin team have drawn at least 19 games in a single calendar year in all competitions for the first time since 1999 (19 in that case too); furthermore, since 1929/1930 only in 1998 (20) have the Bianconeri drawn more games. The Old Lady have kept 11 clean sheets in all competitions this season, and no team in the top five European tournaments has done better (11 also for Bayern Munich and Inter); overall, the Bianconeri could keep a clean sheet in 12 of their first 19 games of the season for the first time since 2014/2015 (12 in that case). Juventus have already collected four 0-0s in this championship, as many as in the entire 2023/2024 Serie A tournament: to find a Bianconeri season in the top flight with more 0-0s you have to go back to 2011/2012, when the Piedmontese team coached by Antonio Conte closed the year with five 0-0s.

The words of Thiago Motta 

"We want to put in a good performance in every sense, even from the point of view of the game, which is needed to get a result. Lecce is coming from a victory, the new coach brings enthusiasm, a positive atmosphere is created. With Venezia they put in a good performance, they have interesting players, with a coach who gives a lot in terms of organization. They are playing at home, they will want to put us in difficulty, putting pressure on us. We will have to be good at getting out of the pressing, we will face a complicated team, we have to think about ourselves and give our best, knowing where to take the game to get the result. The unavailable players are Bremer, Nico Gonzalez, Milik, Douglas Luiz, Adzic, Cabal, Vlahovic, Savona and McKennieThe young people who will come with us are Papadopoulos, Pagnucco, Owusu, Montero and Pugno. I have total confidence in my players, in those who will play the match. Each of us must give our best to help the team: it is clear that in this situation we must all give more. When there are more players available, they will help the team. All the teams are suffering injuries. But I am completely focused on those who are available today, always waiting for the recovery of those who are not available. beans?
