Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic is anticipated to make his first start in over five months as the Bianconeri aim for a crucial victory against a Lecce side fighting to avoid relegation.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 20:45 CET (19:45 BST) at the Stadio Via Del Mare in Lecce.
The home team currently holds a four-point cushion above the relegation zone, meaning a win would likely secure their top-flight status. Juventus, meanwhile, occupies fourth place in the league standings, but their narrow one-point lead over fifth-placed Roma has diminished following consecutive draws against Milan and Hellas Verona.
Juventus will be without the injured Arkadiusz Milik and Juan Cabal for their trip to Lecce.
Serbian international Vlahovic is expected to feature in the starting lineup for the first time since November 29, according to reports from Sky Sport and Gazzetta.
Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceiçao are set to flank Vlahovic in Juventus’s attack.
Lecce faces unavailability for Medon Berisha, Kialonda Gaspar, Riccardo Sottil, and Sadik Fofana. Upfront, Walid Cheddira is the favored option over Nikola Stulic to lead the line as a sole striker.
