Juventus take on the visitors Lazio in the semifinal match of Coppa Italia. The match will be played on Tuesday, April 2nd at Allianz Stadium (Turin).
Juventus may consider the cup their priority towards the end of this season. The Old Lady looked like one of the favorites in this season's Serie A. After a couple of tough years, they managed to improve and could have finished in second place a year ago. However, non-sporting factors intervened then, namely the 10-point penalty for financial misconduct by the Agnelli management. Then UEFA didn't even allow them to participate in European competitions at all. So, the team from Turin got a favorable schedule, with matches only at their home arena. However, by February, the Bianconeri clearly faltered, losing to the Serie A leader, Inter, and overall experiencing a significant decline, which led to them relinquishing hopes of competing for the Scudetto with the Nerazzurri – even AC Milan managed to overtake them and secure second place.

Lazio had been playing under the guidance of their former forward, Simone Inzaghi, for a long time. However, he decided to try himself in a new place, and it's enough to look at the results of Inter to understand that he succeeded in this. But even his replacement, Maurizio Sarri, managed to maintain the level of the Biancocelesti, and last season even lifted the Romans to second place, which was one of the best results in the ambitious project's history. But now everything has fallen apart, and it all started with failures literally in the first matches. Initially, the results of The Smokers were defended in other competitions. Here is the current semifinal of the country's cup. And, perhaps, the main thing is the exit from the Champions League group stage and a confident home game against Bayern. However, in Munich, the Germans took a convincing revenge with a crushing victory. After such a result, they parted ways with the manager, betting on the former zebra defender, Igor Tudor, even though as a coach he had previously shone at Verona and Marseille. By the way, the Croatian's debut was another match against his former team, but this time in Serie A.
Before the previous match, the weekend before the change of coach at Lazio, The Old Lady had 3 wins in 4 matches. However, a year ago, Biancocelesti won at home. Allegri's wards are considered favorites in the confrontation, which is natural since they play at home. But this is the first match, and everything will be decided in any case in Rome. We recommend betting that everything will end with a pragmatic total under 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
