The home side have a four-point advantage over the relegation zone, so a win would almost certainly allow them to secure survival, while Juventus sit fourth in the standings, but their lead over fifth-placed Roma has been reduced to just one point following back-to-back draws against Milan and Hellas Verona.
The Bianconeri have travelled to Lecce without the injured Arkadiusz Milik and Juan Cabal.
Serbia international Vlahovic is expected to start his first game since November 29, as reported by Sky Sport and Gazzetta.
Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceiçao will complete the Old Lady’s attack.
Medon Berisha, Kialonda Gaspar, Riccardo Sottil and Sadik Fofana are unavailable for Lecce, where Walid Cheddira is the favourite over Nikola Stulic for a starting spot as a lone striker.
Lecce vs. Juventus – where to watch on TV
The match will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 2, DAZN and HBO Max in the UK and Ireland and on Paramount+ in the USA. Football Italia will provide live updates via a liveblog.
