Juventus are showing signs of recovery after a difficult run, with the 2-0 win at Lecce on Sunday providing a much-needed boost in confidence and points. Douglas Luiz was the standout performer, contributing a goal and an assist in a dominant first half, as reported by Goal. The result lifted the club to seventh in Serie A with 14 points from eight games, though the gap to the top remains a concern.

The win came on the back of a tactical reset by Luciano Spalletti, who shifted to a 3-4-1-2 shape after the heavy 3-0 home defeat to Lazio. As Goal's tactical analysis explains, the change was partly forced by injuries and partly driven by input from the squad itself. The injury list remains serious, with 16 players having passed through the treatment room this season. Zeki Celik and Nico Gonzalez are the latest additions, both picking up muscle injuries against Rennes, as confirmed by Goal.

Questions remain about whether the 3-5-2 is a long-term fix or a stopgap, with Goal noting that the system risks marginalising players the club invested in during the summer. Nick Woltemade is growing into his role, while Randal Kolo Muani continues to struggle for form, according to Goal. Spalletti's squad faces Genoa at the Luigi Ferraris on Wednesday, with the club looking to back up the Lecce result and build real momentum.
