A couple of PPLive channels will be showing the game right? It says so on Tvmix.net
Anyway, I wish Del Piero would start the game today. Zlatan just isn't hitting top form at the moment. He's had his fair share of starts in the line-up and I think it's about time for him to sit on the bench and be the reliever of either Ale or Trez at the moment.
We can't afford another slip beacuse that would jeopardize our hold on Serie A and would be another source of distraction from the Champions League.

Serie A Preview: Juventus-Lecce
The last time Juve faced Lecce they had just suffered their first Champions league defeat of the season, losing to Bayern Munich in Germany. Capello’s men come into this game on the back of another defeat to German opposition, this time at the hands of Werder Bremen. Lecce will be mindful of suffering another backlash against a side that has not failed to win after a defeat this season.
BACKGROUND
Juventus come into the match after a poor display against Werder on Wednesday. The Bianconeri went down 3-2 to the German side, looking at the back and wasteful in attack. The loss marks Juve’s third competitive loss of the season and Capello’s men will be anxious to keep their lead at the top of Serie A intact. Striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic for his performance in the Champions league tie and his performance will be under the microscope against Lecce this weekend. The Swede has failed to live up to the stunning form he showed in his first season with the Turin giants and goals have been hard to come by. Del Piero came off the bench on Wednesday to inspire his side in attack but his impact was not enough. Del Piero could find himself starting against Lecce after such an inspired display.
Lecce have struggled with life in Serie since the departure of controversial coach Zeman. The Czech’s Lecce side were a revelation in Serie A, with Zeman’s attacking play delighting the neutrals and helping cause some major upsets in the league. Many critics were quick to point out Lecce’s defensive failings, but whilst the goals flowed at the other end, Lecce could afford to concede a few. This season has been a totally different story with just 16 goals scored this season only lowly Treviso have scored less. Defensively Lecce are amongst the worst I the league and survival looks almost impossible. If Lecce are to survive they need to go on a winning run but the Stadio Delle Alpi is a tough place to start.
TEAM NEWS
Juventus
Kovac comes in for the injured Cannavaro and Balzaretti continues at left back. Chiellini also plays on the other flank. Del Piero should start on the bench despite his impressive show against breman.
Lecce
Baldini has almost a full squad to chose from. Konan and Vucinic will start up front whilst former Juve target Ledesma will miss the game through injury. Delvecchio will also make up the attack for the Lecce side.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Juventus
Ibrahimovic has not been as lethal as he would have liked in front of goal this season, but Capello has given the Swede another chance after his poor showing against Werder. The former Ajax man has the skill to overcome his recent drought.
Lecce
Inter target Vucinic will be anxious to prove that he was not just a one season wonder. The striker has shown only flashed of the brilliance that saw him penetrate Serie A defenses last term.
PROBABLE STARTING XIs
Juventus (4-4-2)
Buffon - Chiellini, Thuram, Kovac, Balzaretti - Camoranesi, Emerson, Vieira, Nedved - Trezeguet, Ibrahimovic.
Lecce (4-3-3)
Benussi - Camissa, Saidi, Diamoutene, Rullo - Konan, Cassetti, Giacomazzi - Delvecchio, Camorani, Vucinic
PREDICTION
Juventus should easily cope with Lecce and return to winning ways.
Juventus 3-1 Lecce
