Juventus take on the visitors Lazio in the quarterfinal match of Coppa Italia. The match will be played on Thursday, February 2nd at Allianz Stadium (Turin).
Juventus are now absorbed, by and large, not with what is happening on the football fields. First, a lengthy investigation led to the resignation of Agnelli and his management team in the fall. But that didn't stop the team as a whole from hitting. For starters, the club received a 15-point penalty in January. And more and more we have to talk about how the club as a whole will be punished (it is noteworthy that bookmakers even stopped accepting bets that the grandee will be sent to Serie B), and personally football players - they intend to excommunicate many from matches for at least a month . It is clear that in Turin they cannot switch off from this. Perhaps this can at least partially explain the defeat on the road from Napoli (but still 1-5 is a bit too much) and a draw with Atalanta. But, of course, 0-2 with the debutant, Monza, stands apart - this is in no way explained. On the other hand, maybe in such a situation you just need to cling to success in the cup - who knows when there will still be a chance to take at least some full-fledged trophy against the backdrop of punishments.

Lazio are also aware of the situation at Juventus. It is noteworthy that last season (1st for himself in Rome) Sarri raised his wards to 5th place - higher, that is, to the Champions League, the capital project was not allowed just by the Old Signora. Now the competitor has received at least a 15-point penalty, and is unlikely to rise to the top quartet. This clearly simplifies the fight, but still there are enough opponents, including the neighbor and the enemy, Roma. The wards of Maurizio themselves spoiled the deal with unsuccessful matches in early January, when, leading in the score, they conceded 2 goals from Lecce (defeat) and Empoli (draw). But after that, the Eagles managed knock out Bologna in the Cup, and confidently to deal with Sassuolo. Of course, the victory over Milan stands apart - the current champion was defeated devastatingly, 4-0. Perhaps this success was celebrated for too long, because after it they were limited to only 1-1 with a modest Fiorentina.
Lazio's winless streak last season, already under Sarri as coach, continued with defeat and a draw. Moreover, in Turin in November, the hosts won 3-0. Bookmakers believe in the victory of the hosts in Turin. But if the “Old Signora” is now in such a state are inferior even to Monza, then why not take the risk of trying to bet on the fact that in this cup confrontation, the visitors from Rome will be able not to lose in regular time.
Prediction for the match: Lazio not to lose (X2).
