Juventus will look to start off a busy month of May with maximum points as they play host to Lecce at the Allianz Stadium on Wednesday evening.
Ahead of the 18:00 CEST kick-off, a few pre-match curiosities to whet your appetite before the game:
TOUGH TASK | Lecce have won just four of their 33 Serie A matches played against Juventus, the last coming in February 2011. Since then, there have been three victories for the Bianconeri and two draws in the five matches played between the two sides.
SET PIECE SUCCESS | Juventus have scored the most goals from set pieces in percentage terms so far this season: 40% (19/48). The Bianconeri also lead the Serie A charts in terms of most goals scored from direct free-kicks: three.
FAGIO’S FIRST | Nicolò Fagioli scored his first Serie A goal in the first meeting against Lecce, netting the memorable 73rd-minute winner in a 1-0 victory at the Via del Mare.
FILIP FROM THE FLANK | Filip Kostić has both attempted and successfully completed the most crosses from open play of all players in Serie A, delivering 150 and completing 32.
FORMER SIDE | Juan Cuadrado made 33 appearances for Lecce in the 2011/12 season, scoring three goals for the Giallorossi.
