Juventus welcome Lazio to the Allianz Stadium as the visitors arrive in good form, having remained unbeaten in their opening six league games of the season. The Old Lady will be eager to claim all three points at home as they look to return to winning ways after dropping points in their previous league match.
Juve were held by Cagliari last time out and will want to respond quickly. However, they know that overcoming Lazio will be difficult, especially given the visitors’ surprisingly strong start to the campaign. The Bianconeri must deliver a convincing performance if they are to secure the result they want.
Juventus face a confident Lazio side
Lazio travel to Turin determined to collect points and extend their unbeaten run. Their results so far have given them confidence, and they will see this fixture as another opportunity to demonstrate their quality against a major opponent.
Juventus understand the challenge awaiting them and cannot afford to underestimate the visitors. Lazio have shown consistency in their opening matches, meaning the home side will need to remain focused and take their opportunities when they arise.
Nevertheless, Juve can draw encouragement from their midweek victory over Celta Vigo. That result demonstrated their ability to overcome difficult opponents, while Randal Kolo Muani’s form gives them an attacking threat that could make the difference. If the striker continues to perform well, Juventus will believe they have a good chance of securing another win.
The Bianconeri hope home advantage counts
Juventus will be determined to avoid defeat at the Allianz Stadium and will relish the opportunity to bring Lazio’s unbeaten start to an end. However, their recent record against the visitors provides a reason for caution, as they have failed to beat Lazio in any of their last three meetings.
That run highlights the difficulty of this fixture, and the Bianconeri will need to improve on those results if they are to take maximum points. Lazio will arrive believing they can continue their positive run, so Juventus must be ready for a competitive contest.
On the other hand, Juve have an encouraging record at home against Lazio, having won four and drawn one of their last five meetings at the Allianz Stadium. That statistic should give the home side confidence ahead of the match.
Given their home advantage and Kolo Muani’s form, Juventus could edge a tight encounter. Lazio’s unbeaten run makes them dangerous opponents, but a narrow victory for the Bianconeri remains a reasonable expectation.
