The upcoming Serie A match between Juventus and Lazio promises to be a compelling encounter, as both teams currently find themselves tied for 13th place with identical point totals . Juventus has shown resilience under the management of Thiago Motta, remaining unbeaten in recent fixtures; however, they have struggled to secure victories at home, drawing their last three matches at the Allianz Stadium. Conversely, Lazio enters this match on a positive trajectory after winning their last four games across both Serie A and the Europa League. This shift in momentum suggests that the traditional dominance of Juventus over Lazio may be waning .
It is quite a remarkable feat for a team that seems to have found a perfect balance under their new manager, Thiago Motta. The former Bologna manager has not only changed the team’s fortunes but has also made them an eye-catching team to watch.
Meanwhile, Lazio have also made a fantastic start to the new season gathering 13 points from the opening seven games as they currently occupy the fourth spot in the standings.
The team underwent significant changes in the summer. Former Hellas Verona manager Marco Baroni was signed to lead the team and added quality players like Boulaye Dia and Nuno Tavares. So far, everything is looking great for them. Hopefully, they will start to produce results consistently to challenge for the title.
Lazio won in the first two European matches they had this year, against Nice in France and before that against Dynamo kyiv. This is the first time Lazio have won their first two continental games in 7 years.
Few goals are expected as Juventus' defence is one of the best in Europe. In fact, they had impressively not conceded a goal in Serie A in their first 6 games. In addition, Juventus also won both of their Champions League games, the last against RB Leipzig, being underdogs at 3.00 for their victory.
Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; Savona, Kalulu, Gatti, Cabal; Locatelli, Thuram; Cambiaso, Yildiz, Mbangula; Vlahovic
Lazio possible starting lineup: Provedel; Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Tavares; Rovella, Guendouzi; Isaksen, Dia, Zaccagni; Castellanos
With both teams boasting dynamic wing players, the use of width and quick transitional play could play a significant role. Lazio leads Serie A in corners, with 49 in total, averaging seven per match. With players like Isaksen and Tavares, they plan to capitalise on open spaces and deliver crosses that will challenge the aerial capabilities of the Juventus defence.
