Serie A, Saturday, 12/04/2025 at 8:45 pm
According to my Juventus Lecce betting tip, it would be advisable to visit a certified sports betting provider for Saturday. Because this game could be surprisingly entertaining.
Juve are missing their dominant center-back duo and could deliver a lucrative exchange of blows in terms of sports betting against the relegation candidates. I am firmly convinced of that in any case!
Especially against the relegation-threatened US Lecce, this could be the right time to stabilize the attack. The Bianconeri are particularly strong in their own stadium – after all, their home record is one of the best in Serie A: 8 wins, 7 draws, 1 defeat.
In fact, they have won seven of their last nine home games against Lecce (2 draws), making them the clear favorites on Saturday.
The current Juventus Lecce odds from any decent betting provider without tax suggest that the Bianconeri should be victorious, with an average of 1.35 for a home win.
In their last home game, Juventus defeated Genoa 1-0, extending their unbeaten streak against teams outside the top eight to 19 games (12 wins, 7 draws). So, the Tudor XI are strong when they face the smaller teams!
They have also scored the first goal in 21 of their matches this term – only Inter have done so more often (22).
An early goal looks a distinct possibility against Lecce, whose attacking efforts away from home have been limited.
US Lecce, who are just above the relegation zone in the table, did manage to draw with bottom-of-the-league Venezia, but their form remains concerning.
They have not won in their last eight games (3 draws, 5 defeats), making their trip to Turin an even tougher task.
Lecce’s away record this season has been abysmal – they have just three wins and two draws in 15 away games. Particularly striking is their abysmal away offensive output.
With just ten goals away from home, they have the worst goal scoring record of any Serie A team.
Given these deficiencies in offense, Lecce will find it difficult to pose a threat against the Juventus defense, which has allowed only 16 goals in 16 home games this season.
But there is hope for the relegation candidates, because – as I will explain in more detail in a moment – a very important man in the “Bianconeri” central defense will be missing next Saturday.
But even if Lecce should score, it would probably only be an “honorary goal”. The visitors have not won against any of the teams in the top half of the table this season (1 draw, 10 defeats).
Their ability to hold their own against top teams has not yet been demonstrated by the seventeenth-placed team, which further reduces their chances of a positive result in this game.
Let’s now turn to specific Juventus Lecce tips. “1st goal: Juventus” is of course my first recommendation, even at odds of around 1.33, due to the aforementioned tendency of the home side to go 1-0 up.
On the other hand, an outcome bet of 3-1 in favor of Juventus could be a comparatively riskier, but potentially much more lucrative tip.
Although Juventus have not scored many goals in some matches, I see the perfect conditions for an unexpectedly high-scoring game here for a change.
Such an outcome is quite conceivable, especially if the home side pick up speed in attack. The “Half-time/full-time 1/1” tip at 1.78 is also a good choice, as Juve regularly take the lead in the first half and often control the games at home.
Incidentally, I can also well imagine the 2.5-goal mark cracking this time because the “Bianconeri” are missing some extremely important defenders.
With Bremer and Gatti missing on Sunday, the two best defenders will be missing, so I can well imagine that Lecce will score their consolation goal.
Conclusion: Juventus has a clear advantage over Lecce at the Allianz Arena. The guests are struggling with a weak away record and an offensively uncertain alignment.
However, my assessment is that there will be a surprising number of goals, which could lead to particularly lucrative football bets if they win.
After all, the absence of defensive leader Gatti alone will cause slight disorganization in the home side’s defense.
My tip: Over 2.5 goals & both teams score
