Lazio take on the visitors Juventus in the round 29 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, April 8th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
Some progress was made by Lazio last season, which was the debut for "The Smoker" in the Italian capital - they climbed to 5th place. Things are not going smoothly now, but overall there are quite good chances of finishing in the top four. Taking advantage of the mistakes of their competitors, "sky-blue", who have taken 4 victories with one 0-0 draw in 5 Serie A matches, even rose to the 2nd position in the current league table in March! Yes, at the same time, they were knocked out of the Conference League, losing twice to AZ, but it is unlikely that this was given much attention in Rome - the same 1-0 in the "Capitol derby" with "Roma" is more important. And after a 2-0 win over "Monza", they managed to consolidate their position in 2nd place in the Calcio table.

Juventus are currently in a precarious situation. On the one hand, there are still hopes of challenging the already imposed 15-point penalty and thus returning to the group of leaders. On the other hand, skeptics do not rule out that the Turin grand may be relegated to Serie B again as a result of the disputes. In general, it is not surprising that Massimiliano Allegri directly stated that his team needs to win the Europa League to guarantee themselves a pass to the Champions League and the next cycle. In February, they defeated French “Nantes,” and in March, German “Freiburg.” However, credit should be given to the coach and his team as they managed to produce another impressive series of victories in the league after a brief slump. Before the break for national team matches, they managed to win six matches - all except for the 0-1 loss to “Roma”. With such a pace, even with the penalty, they could catch up with the top 4 teams. After a 1-0 win over “Verona,” they have already reduced the gap to 6 points, which is possible to make up for in the remaining time. However, it is worth remembering that this week there was already a match in the semi-finals of the country's cup against “Inter,” which ended in a difficult 1-1 draw with numerous sendings-off. On Thursday, they will also face Lisbon's “Sporting.”
Lazio has not won a head-to-head since 2019. Since then, Juventus”has won 5 out of 7 head-to-head matches with a pair of draws, including the last two matches against “the Eagles.” The odds show that the pair is quite equal. Undoubtedly, neither of them will refuse to win 1-0 - but they certainly do not want to lose. We recommend betting on “total over 2.0 goals scored.”
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
