Lecce-Juventus, match valid for the 14th round of the Serie A 2024/2025 season, will take place on Sunday, December 1 at 20:45 at the Via del Mare Stadium.
The Lecce coached by Giampaolo currently occupies the 15th place in the standings. The team comes into this match after achieving two consecutive positive results, a draw against Empoli and an away win against Venezia. The team from Puglia is in urgent need of points to move away from the relegation zone. A victory would allow the yellow and red team to reach 15 points, temporarily catching up with teams like Torino.
The Juventus, dealing with a squad further decimated by the injury of Savona, will arrive in Lecce with the mandatory goal of winning to stay in the trail of the top teams. However, coach Motta will once again have to do without Dusan Vlahovic, forced to field Weah as the central striker. The Juventus lineup should resemble that seen in the Champions League, unless last-minute recoveries of players like Vlahovic or McKennie, hypotheses that are still highly unlikely. It is not excluded, however, that Motta decides to give Kenan Yildiz a rest, fielding Mbangula in his place on the left flank.
Lecce Lineup
For the match against the Bianconeri, Giampaolo is not expected to make many changes and will take the field with the 4-3-3 formation. The goal will be defended by Falcone, and in front of him will act the back four composed of Guilbert, Baschirotto, Gaspar, and Gallo. The midfield trio will see Coulibaly, Ramadani, and Rafia as starters. Finally, the attacking trio will be composed of Dorgu, Krstovic, and Pierotti.
Juventus Lineup
The Juventus coached by Motta will take the field with the classic 4-2-3-1 formation. In goal will be the usual Di Gregorio, while the back four will see the only change of Danilo starting from the first minute in place of Savona, absent due to injury. The rest of the defense will feature the usual Kalulu and Gatti in the center, and Cambiaso at left-back. In midfield, there will be Thuram and Locatelli, and in front of them the attacking trio composed of Koopmeiners as the attacking midfielder and Yildiz and Conceicao on the wings. The lone striker will be Timothy Weah, called upon once again to cover for the injured Dusan Vlahovic.

Will Franco Israel be guarding the goal in Torino-Genoa?
Views: 18
Doubt in Torino. Franco Israel’s conditions could make him miss the match against Genoa. The match will take place at 12:30.
The goalkeeper of Torino is in serious doubt for the match against Genoa; the trauma to his right rib, suffered in the match against Napoli, does not seem to have fully healed.
During the match against Napoli, the goalkeeper received a nasty blow which was then evaluated by the medical staff of the granata. The result: the goalkeeper was unable to complete his normal weekly preparation and, for this reason, does not seem to be included in the lineup of twelve against the Grifoni.
Today, however, we await the official medical report on the condition of the twenty-five-year-old Uruguayan.
If the results are not positive for Franco Israel, then it will be the turn of his substitute Paleari.
Torino, currently in 15th place in the Serie A standings, is waiting for the official results of the goalkeeper Israel’s physical condition.

What happened to the Torino goalkeeper and what to expect in the coming hours
The player received a blow during the match against Napoli (in which the granata won 1-0 against the Neapolitan team). A joy broken by the injury that appeared, from the very beginning, quite serious.
To worsen the mood of the Turin club, the player’s absence in the weekly training session (to prepare for the match against the Ligurians) and, therefore, rumors about his health status have increased.
This absence itself would suggest, regardless of the verdict, that the goalkeeper will be absent on the field tomorrow, Sunday, October 26, but what is most breath-taking is the medical report.
Genoa, the team that is bottom of the Serie A standings, could take advantage of this forced stop to try and secure three much-needed points. At this point in the season, in fact, the Ligurians must try to drastically change their fate, otherwise a future relegation seems more than likely.
The team of Marco Baroni must instead keep their eyes on the horizon and not lose concentration in order to continue to stay in the middle of the table and then, who knows, even try to climb up the ranks.

Milan, Modric: “A big shame, we threw away 2 points”

AC Milan midfielder Luka Modric commented on the bitter 2-2 draw against Pisa in a press conference.

Milan, Modric’s words
MILAN-PISA 2-2
“We expected this match, they came to defend and make our lives difficult. It’s our fault if we didn’t win: we didn’t do enough to win the game. We lost two important points today. These home games, with all due respect to Pisa, you have to win them.”
TIGHT MARKING?
“It’s fair, I have to adapt. We need to play better overall: we did some good things, created many chances but didn’t score. But I have to adapt for the rest.”
APPROACH
“We should have killed the game in the first half. We played well, but only scored one goal. We started the second half sluggishly, then there was the unfortunate penalty and goal. But that’s football, that’s why it’s beautiful: even if you’re stronger and deserve to win, anything can happen. We are sad and angry for losing two valuable points.”

We made mistakes, we need to reflect. However, Pisa played their game
Views: 30
AC Milan waste a great opportunity to consolidate their lead: from 1-0 to 1-2, they need the final minutes to avoid a sensational defeat. The risk of losing the top spot for Milan is now concrete.
It was supposed to be a quiet evening for the Rossoneri, an opportunity to strengthen their first place in the standings and face the midweek round with serenity. Instead, against a brave Pisa, the Rossoneri complicate their lives and have to thank Athekame, the author of the 2-2 in injury time, for avoiding an embarrassing loss.
AC Milan-Pisa 2-2: match analysis
The match started off on the right foot thanks to Leao’s goal after just seven minutes. But Allegri’s team, instead of closing the game, relaxed, showing presumption and lacking ruthlessness in front of goal. In the first half, Milan controlled but did not score, and Pisa stayed in the game.

In the second half, Gilardino played his trump card: Cuadrado’s entry changed everything. The Colombian won and scored the penalty for 1-1, his eighth goal in career against the Rossoneri, then inspired the counterattack that led Nzola to the sensational 2-1. Milan, confused and lacking clarity, tried to react, with Leao hitting the crossbar, Nkunku wasting a possible lead.
Only in injury time did the equalizer come, signed by Athekame, avoiding a heavy defeat but not erasing the bitterness. Perhaps the Rossoneri paid for their lack of respect for the opponent, just as Allegri had warned before the start of the match.
A necessary reality check, because on Tuesday in Bergamo Milan risks not showing up as the league leaders.
