Prediction published on 01/02/2023, 11:54  by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions

The shock at being docked points in the Serie A still lingers around at Juventus and they will be happy to focus momentarily on the Coppa Italia. Their next game is at home to Lazio in the cup and they are gunning for a place in the two-legged semifinals. Juventus are coming from a 2-0 loss at home to Monza in the Serie A, the same team they beat in the last round of the Coppa Italia. They have failed to score once in the last five matches but they have no clean sheet in the last four matches. Three times in the last four matches, they’ve conceded two or more goals, and suffered two losses. The hosts haven’t won in their last two home matches, conceding five goals in the process but scoring three. In the last six meetings with Lazio, Juventus are unbeaten and they will hope for a lift, based on this form.

Lazio were among the beneficiaries when Juventus was docked points, as it improved their chances of a top four finish. They come into this game in good form too and will view this as a game they can win. The visitors are coming from a 1-1 draw with Fiorentina, a sixth straight game in which they went to the half time break leading. The only time in the last seven matches that Lazio didn’t go to the break leading, they lost 3-0 to Juventus. They are unbeaten in their last five matches, winning three and in each of the wins, they kept clean sheets. Lazio have scored two or more goals in three of their last five matches, and among them was a 4-0 win over AC Milan in the league. This, they will feel, is a good moment to end Juventus’ dominance in this fixture.
