Lazio vs Juventus Prediction & Betting tips
Number three in the Serie A Lazio, the number two Juventus is visited. The home team narrowed the gap with Juve to six points last weekend. Lazio won the last two years ago against Juventus, since then the team from Turin won all three mutual encounters.
Lazio:
Lazio is completely revived and makes a much better impression than last season. It has now won six games in a row in the Serie A and can again count on the scoring urge of Ciro Immobile. The Italian became the top scorer in the 2017/2018 season with 29 hits, last season he only came to half (fifteen pieces). This season he is already there after only fourteen of the 38 games in total, the goal getter is alone at the top of the top scorers list with seventeen goals. He found the net in twelve of the fourteen Serie A games this season, in one of these games he was only 38 minutes in the field. Last weekend he already scored the opening goal against Udinese after nine minutes of play, half an hour later he made it 2-0 out of a penalty.
The revival of Lazio and Immobile also has a lot to do with the much fresher-looking Luis Alberto and Milinkovic-Savic. Especially the Spaniard knows how to find his teammates easily again and has already given nine assists this competition. Two weeks ago he gave the decisive assist after a one-two with Caicedo, as a result of which Lazio won at Sassuolo in injury time.
Juventus:
Last weekend, Sassuolo ended the Juventus victory series. In the first half, the teams were equal to each other, leaving a 1-1 score on the scoreboard at half time. Captain Bonucci gave Juve the lead with a shot from outside the box, three minutes later Boga scored the equalizer with a beautiful marker. Through blunders from De Ligt and Buffon, the away team even took the lead just after the break, after which Juve took control. Ronaldo made it 2-2 from the penalty spot, but the field predominance and the many chances were not enough to drag another win out, especially the 18-year-old debuting Sassuolo goalkeeper Turati turned out to be a major obstacle.
Remarkably, Paolo Dybala could not count on a base place in this competition. The Argentinian scored in his two previous games in the Serie A and made the decisive goal against Atletico Madrid. In his raid against Sassuolo he was again important, he deserved the penalty that the equalizer fell from.
