Lazio vs Juventus Preview

Lazio vs Juventus

Competition – Serie A

Stadium – Stadio Olimpico

Date: 27th January 2019

Kick-off time – 19:30 GMT

Lazio will be hosting Juventus in this game as they look to keep their hopes of clinching the final Champions League place alive, while Juve will be looking to extend their winning run and achieve a double over their hosts in Rome.

Juve come into this game after seeing off Genoa 3-0.

It could have been more had Cristiano Ronaldo not missed his spot kick.

That win ensures that they maintain a 9 points gap over Napoli as they look to return the league title.

Bianconeri have won their last 4 games in all competitions including a 1-0 win over Milan which helped them clinch their first trophy of the season.

They should expect a tough game here, but Max Allegri has enough quality in his squad to see out this game.

Lazio host this game after suffering a 2-1 loss to Napoli last time out.

That defeat ended their run of 4 games without a loss and also moved them out of the Italian top four.

This should be a tough game for the host who will be looking to avoid losing twice to Juve this season and also show that they are ready for the fight to finish inside the top four.

Bookmakers have priced Juventus up as slight odds-on favourites to come out on top.

Goal markets point to a low-scoring affair while unsurprisingly, Cristiano Ronaldo is clear favourite with bookies to score the opening goal of the game.
