Juventus vs Lazio Prediction & Picks - Serie A

Prediction published on 10/17/24, 2:45 PM  by Carlos Zabala in Soccer Picks

Lazio and Juventus meet in Turin in one of the most attractive matches of the weekend in all of European football. However, it seems that Juventus' squad will be a little depleted for Saturday's game, since the absences of Milik and Bremer are now joined by those of Koopmeiners and Gonzalez.

For its part, Lazio was able to end a series of inconsistent results when it achieved 4 consecutive victories in all competitions. The last one was a 2-1 victory against Empoli before the international break. This time Castellanos dressed as an assist man for Pedro to score the difference goal in the 84th minute. Lazio had an xG of 2.51 in that match and none of its last 4 rivals could create even a 1.00 xG against the capital team.

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.
