You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Lazio vs. Inter on the Liveblog.

The Bianconeri are still smarting from a huge wasted opportunity to consolidate fourth place and even catch Milan in third, as they were held to a 1-1 home draw by already-relegated Verona.

Vlahovic came off the bench in that game to score his first goal since November 2025, and this evening makes another milestone with his first start since that serious adductor injury.

Kenan Yildiz also starts, with Khephren Thuram only fit for the bench, plus Juan Cabal and Arkadiusz Milik long-term absentees.

Francisco Conceicao and Weston McKennie are therefore in support, with Teun Koopmeiners stepping into the midfield.

Lecce took a significant few steps out of the drop zone thanks to a three-match unbeaten run, drawing with Fiorentina and Verona before the 2-1 victory away to Pisa.

They have a four-point cushion from Cremonese and relegation with three rounds left to play, so every point could be precious.

Riccardo Sottil, Medon Berisha, Kialonda Gaspar and Sadik Fofana are out of action, but Walid Cheddira is confirmed as the centre-forward with Lameck Banda in support.

It is the same starting XI that beat Pisa last week, including Tiago Gabriel in defence.

Lecce vs. Juventus line-ups

Lecce: Falcone; Danilo Veiga, Siebert, Tiago Gabriel, Gallo; Ngom, Ramadani; Pierotti, Coulibaly, Banda; Cheddira

Juventus: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Koopmeiners; Conceicao, McKennie, Yildiz; Vlahovic
