Competition: Serie A

Market: Juventus win and over 1.5 goals

Odds: 3/5 @ Bet 365

Looking to extend their buffer at the top of Serie A this weekend, Juventus will make the trip to Lecce on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, enduring a tricky return to Serie A over the summer, Lecce find themselves already flirting with the drop zone. In their opening eight matches this season, they have recorded two wins, one draw, and five defeats, scoring nine and conceding 17 in return. Along with holding just a one-point buffer over the drop zone, it should also be noted that they hold the second-worst defensive record in the division. As for their recent run of results, Lecce have won just one of their last five Serie A matchups and have also lost their last three consecutive matches on home soil.

As for the visitors, enjoying an expected bright start to the 2019/2020 Serie A campaign, Juventus are seen as a clear favorite to retain their domestic crown. In their opening eight matches this season, they have recorded seven wins, one draw, and are yet to taste defeat. With a points tally of 22, Juve now hold a one-point buffer at the top of the table. As for their recent run of results, Saturday’s guests have won their last seven matches across all competitions, scoring two or more goals in each of those victories. It should also be noted that Juventus have secured back-to-back victories on the road.
