The Bianconeri challenge the Giallorossi with the aim of consolidating their fourth place. Kick-off at 8.45pm at Via del Mare, Colombo referee
Champions League and salvation up for grabs in the 36th matchday between Lecce and Juve. With a positive result, the Giallorossi could put great pressure on Cremonese, currently 4 points behind. The Bianconeri, on the other hand, are chasing a victory that would temporarily take them to third place, but, above all, safe from the return of Roma and Como. The referee of the challenge will be Andrea Colombo, from the Como section.

Fundamental. The victory eight days ago at Pisa gave strength to Lecce’s survival ambitions, which, thanks to Cremonese’s subsequent home defeat against Lazio, now has more than a game advantage over Giampaolo’s team. Di Francesco’s team thus put an end to a lack of success that had lasted for six matches: the Salento team have not won two matches in a row since last February, against Udinese and Cagliari. Confirmation in sight for Cheddira at the center of the attack, after the Moroccan found a goal in Serie A more than 7 months later. The only absentees will be the long-term patients Berisha, Fofana, Gaspar and Sottil.
how Juventus gets there

The unexpected draw against already relegated Verona at the Stadium, combined with the 0-0 draw the week before at San Siro against Milan, severely slowed down Spalletti’s team’s bid for fourth place. Despite being unbeaten in 9 games, in which they conceded just 5 goals, Juve now sees the margin over Roma, fifth, reduced to one point, and that over Como, sixth, to 3. Spalletti seems intent on relaunching Vlahovic from the start after taking over at half-time in his last outing: the Serbian hasn’t started in Serie A since last November 29, when he got injured against Cagliari. Yildiz’s condition is also improving, having been forced to deal with an annoying knee inflammation in recent weeks. The only absentees will be Cabal and Milik, whose season ended prematurely.
