&lt;p&gt;It’s Lecce who are looking down at Juventus for the first time ever on the eve of a match between the Giallorossi and Bianconeri in Serie A TIM. The Salentini, in fact, have one point more than Juve and are one of just two unbeaten sides in the league this season – alongside Inter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While Allegri’s side are looking to turn the page following a 4-2 defeat to Sassuolo on Saturday (watch the highlights of that game &lt;a href=&#34;https://highlights.legaseriea.it/2023-2024/highlights-giornata-5/lecce-genoa-22-09-2023/&#34;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;), the Giallorossi are in dreamland. For the first time in their history, Lecce are unbeaten after five matches in a Serie A TIM season (W3, D2). They’ve also set a new club record for points (eleven) taken over the first five matches (&lt;a href=&#34;https://highlights.legaseriea.it/2023-2024/highlights-giornata-5/sassuolo-juventus-23-09-2023/&#34;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to watch the best bits from their win over Genoa). For comparison, it took Lecce 14 matches last season to reach the 11-point mark (a win over Atalanta taking them to twelve). Furthermore, Lecce haven’t lost in any of their last four away matches in the league (W1, D3). The Salentini have gone on a longer unbeaten away run in Serie A TIM just twice before: between January and March 2004 (six) and April and September 2001 (six).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FUN FACTS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;last two times that Juventus lost a match following an unbeaten run (as happened against Sassuolo), they also saw defeat in the following match. In April, the Bianconeri lost to Lazio and then followed up with defeats to Sassuolo and Napoli, and in May a loss against Empoli gave way to a defeat to AC Milan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lecce have won just one of their last 14 matches against Juventus in the top flight (D3, L10): 2-0 on 20 February 2011 with goals from Djamel Mesbah and Andrea Bertolacci.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Juventus have scored an average of 2.6 goals per game in their 17 home matches against Lecce in Serie A, with a record of twelve wins, four draws and just one defeat (4-3 on 25 April 2004).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the first time in his career, Federico Chiesa has scored in three consecutive appearances in all competitions. He has hit the back of the net in six of his last eight games in Serie A TIM (six goals), as many goals as he managed in his previous 51 appearances in the league.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first of Nicolò Fagioli’s three goals in Serie A TIM came against Lecce: on 29 October 2022 in Salento. The midfield, who chipped in with an assist against Sassuolo, hasn’t registered goal involvements in two consecutive league games since the start of November 2022 (goals against Lecce and Inter).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remi Oudin has scored four goals in his last five matches in Serie A TIM (after not having scored in his first 27 league appearances). Antonio Candreva (five goals) is the only midfielder in the division to have scored more than the Lecce number 10 from the start of May to now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PRESS CONFERENCES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Massimiliano Allegri&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Lecce are a solid side with a great coach in D’Aversa. They’re a technical team and it’s not by chance that they’re still unbeaten. Pantaleo Corvino has put together a complete squad this season too. Last year, after many years without Serie A football, they deservedly achieved survival. It’ll be a great game.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roberto D’Aversa&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“There’s a lot of enthusiasm thanks to our great start to the season. It’s only right that there’s a buzz but we can’t lose sight of our objective: survival. The results we’ve attained thus far are fruit of our attitude on the pitch. The important thing now is that this enthusiasm doesn’t become expectation.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Juve will look to start strongly; they have a great squad and will be in the title race until the end. They’re going into the game after losing to Sassuolo; we need to be mentally and physically prepared for this because they’ll want a win.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SUSPENDED and CAUTIONED&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;None&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OFFICIALS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Giua (Di Iorio &amp;amp; Cecconi), IV: Massa, VAR: Maresca, AVAR: Muto&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FOLLOWING MATCHES IN SERIE A TIM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lecce vs Napoli (Saturday 30 September, 15:00)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Atalanta vs Juventus (Sunday 1 October, 18:00)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;(Photo: LaPresse)&lt;/p&gt;
