Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Lecce, 17th position with 26 points and a negative goal difference of -18
Juventus, 5th position with 55 points and a positive goal difference of +18
Juventus won the Serie A Week 32 on Saturday, April 12, 2025, at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, Italy. Juventus secured a 2-1 victory over Lecce, gaining three vital points in their quest for a Champions League spot. The scoring opened just two minutes into the match with Teun Koopmeiners finding the net, followed by Yildiz extending the lead in the 33rd minute, both assists coming from Dušan Vlahović. Lecce’s Baschirotto managed to pull one back with a header in the 87th minute.
In the next round of the championship, Juventus will play away to Parma, while Lecce will face Como at home.
Historically, Juventus has a strong record against Lecce, having lost only four out of their 37 encounters in Serie A, with 24 wins and 9 draws.
On the other hand, Lecce is struggling, having gone winless in their last eight Serie A matches, with three draws and five losses. Their last victory in the league was a 3-1 win against Parma last January. This marks their longest winless streak since the period from September to December 2023, when Roberto D’Aversa was managing the team, during which they went ten matches without a win.
Are you serious? What an amazing kickoff! Juventus took the lead within just two minutes! Teun Koopmeiners scored with a left-footed shot aimed at the center, assisted by Dusan Vlahovic. Vlahovic’s setup allowed Koopmeiners to unleash a shot in the area that left goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone with no chance to react.
The race for the Scudetto seems to be slowing down a bit. However, it’s clear that the competition has shifted from three teams to just two.
Inter holds the top spot with 68 points, while Napoli reached 65 points after the 1-1 draw against Bologna at the Dall’Ara Stadium. In a thrilling encounter at the Tardini Stadium, Parma pulled off an impressive comeback to draw with Inter. After being down 2-0 in the first half due to goals from Darmian and Marcus Thuram, Parma turned the tide in the second half. Bernabè scored in the 60th minute to cut the deficit, and Ondrejka equalized with a deflected shot in the 69th minute. The final score was Parma 2 – 2 Inter.
Tough home defeat. Atalanta failed to solidify their hold on third place. Lazio reach 55 points being -3 points below Atalanta. Lazio is eager to leapfrog Roma and secure a spot in the European zone.
The direct clash between Roma and Juventus concluded with a 1-1draw. Juventus, now at 56 points, retains a three-point lead over Roma, who have 53. Additionally, Juve is closing in on Atalanta, currently at 58 points. The Bianconeri took the lead in the first half thanks to a volley from Locatelli, but shortly after the second half began, Shomorudov, the new signing, equalized from a corner kick. The second half was marked by a lack of excitement, as both teams held their ground until the final whistle.

Milan’s inability to secure a win at home is truly disappointing. Both teams leave with a point, which feels like a setback for Milan’s hopes of advancing in the Champions League, now sitting at 48 points. Meanwhile, Fiorentina, with 52 points, temporarily closes the gap on Lazio.
Genoa has moved up to a 15-point cushion above the relegation zone, bringing them closer to their goal of survival after a rough start to the season. Meanwhile, Udinese remains stagnant at 40 points and hasn’t secured a win since March 1st. Genoa’s win was well-earned, as they were the more aggressive team throughout the match. However, there were tense moments at the end, including a disallowed goal by Rui Modesto and Pafundi’s protests over a potential foul in the box. After their loss to Juventus, Genoa is back on track, while Udinese faces their third consecutive defeat.
Hellas has successfully maintained a 7-point cushion above the relegation zone, bringing their total to 31 points and holding steady in 14th place. Torino has now joined Udinese in a tie for 10th place, both teams sitting on 40 points. In their upcoming match, Torino will travel to Como, where they will be hosted by Cesc Fabregas’ team. The game between Torino and Verona concluded with a 1-1 draw.
Como climbs to 33 points, pulling ahead of third-from-bottom Empoli by ten points, and secures crucial points in their fight for survival. Monza, however, remains at the bottom of the table, trailing ten points behind safety. This marks the second consecutive loss for Nesta’s squad, who have managed to collect just one point from their last six matches.
The game at the “Castellani” between Empoli and Cagliari concluded without any goals. It was a match that lacked excitement, with both teams seemingly more concerned about avoiding defeat. This was a missed chance for the Azzurri, who have not celebrated a victory since December, and they remain two points behind Lecce. On the other hand, the Rossoblù secured a valuable point, keeping a six-point lead over Empoli.

Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Lecce, 17th position with 25 points and a negative goal difference of -28
Venezia, 19th position with 20 points and a negative goal difference of -20
Lecce and Venezia concluded Serie A Week 31 with a 1-1 draw on Sunday, April 6, 2025, at the Via del Mare Stadium in Lecce, Italy. Both teams are in a battle for survival, with just seven games left in the season. This result halted Lecce’s run of five straight losses in the league, although they are still searching for their first win. The draw brings the Giallorossi’s points total to 26, placing them three points ahead of Empoli, who are currently in 18th place. Venezia also earned a point, bringing their total to 21, keeping their hopes for survival alive with seven matches remaining.
In the upcoming Serie A fixtures, Lecce will travel to face Juventus on Saturday, April 12, 2025, with the match kicking off at 20:45. Meanwhile, Venezia will host Monza at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo on the same day, but the match will start at 15:00.
The game…
Lecce is facing a tough situation as Venezia scores first in the 50th minute due to an own goal by Antonino Gallo. The free kick, taken brilliantly by Zerbin, is met by the giallorossi winger who gets ahead of Gytkjaer. However, his touch misleads goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone, resulting in the ball finding its way into the Lecce net.
Venezia levels the score at 1-1 in the 50th minute. Federico Baschirotto found the net with a header directed into the bottom right corner. The goal was set up by Thórir Helgason, who delivered a cross after a corner awarded to Jay Idzes. After Helgason’s corner from the right, the Giallorossi captain soared above Candé and angled his shot into the left corner past Radu. The atmosphere at Via del Mare is electric.
Stats before the game
Lecce has maintained an unbeaten record in their last five Serie A encounters with Venezia, securing three wins and two draws. The only team against which Lecce has played more matches without a loss in the top division is Monza, with six games.
Lecce has triumphed in their last two Serie A clashes with Venezia, occurring on November 25 and March 30, 2002. The Apulians have only managed to achieve at least three consecutive victories in the top flight against Brescia (from 2004 to 2010) and Reggina (from 2000 to 2004), with both instances resulting in four wins.
Lecce has triumphed in both of their Serie A encounters at the Via del Mare against Venezia, winning 2-1 on March 30, 2002, and again on November 28, 1999. Additionally, across Serie A and Serie B (including playoffs), the Salentini have gone unbeaten in 12 out of their 14 home games against the Lagunari, with a record of 7 wins and 5 draws, having only lost their first two home matches back in the 1930-1931 season of the cadet championship.
Venezia, on the other hand, has managed to secure only three victories in their first 30 matches of a Serie A season for the second time in history, mirroring their performance in 2001/02 when they also lost their 31st match of that season. Lecce has not lost any of their last 11 Serie A games against teams that were in the bottom two positions at the start of the matchday, boasting 6 wins and 5 draws, with four wins in their last five encounters (1 draw).
Simply put, Venezia has struggled offensively, scoring just one goal in their last seven Serie A matches (4 draws, 3 losses), a feat they haven’t experienced since the first seven matchdays of the 1998/99 season. Moreover, the Venetians have only managed one win in their last 20 top-flight games (9 draws, 10 losses), a situation they haven’t faced since May 2022.
Lecce holds the record for the longest active losing streak in Serie A, having lost five consecutive matches. The last time they experienced six straight defeats in the league was in April 2023.
