Lazio vs. Juventus: Match Prediction
Both opponents need to improve their positions in the standings, so I expect active attacking play from both the Romans and the Turin side. Moreover, both teams are confident in this aspect of the game. Lazio has failed to score in only 2 of their last 14 home Serie A matches, and in the current championship, they have scored seven goals in three home games. However, they have conceded in 14 of their last 15 home Serie A matches.
Juventus may not shine with high scoring on the road, but they regularly find the net: in their last 16 away league encounters, the team failed to score in only three matches. On the other hand, in the same period, the Turin side managed to keep a clean sheet only twice.
Additionally, in 5 of the last 7 head-to-head meetings at Lazio's ground, these opponents exchanged goals. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
