Lazio take on the visitors Juventus in the round 36 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, April 10th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
Lazio risk finishing the season on a modest note. The Eagles had a breakthrough two years ago, finishing as runners-up in Serie A. But the architect of that success, Maurizio Sarri, didn’t last the following season, and the team struggled — narrowly edging out Fiorentina to finish 7th. That result gave Baroni the chance to test his squad in the Europa League. It clearly wasn’t a priority for the Italians, but they still reached the quarter-finals and nearly pulled off a comeback against Bodø/Glimt after losing the first leg 0-2 — though they were ultimately knocked out on penalties. Having exited the Coppa Italia early (they beat Napoli but then lost 0-2 to Inter), Lazio turned their focus to Serie A, hoping for a top-four finish. But consistency has been an issue — they lost to direct rivals Bologna and have been alternating wins with draws since. At least they scraped a 1-0 win over struggling Empoli in the last round. Their form remains patchy and lacks the spark of previous campaigns.

Juventus finally looked like themselves again in 2024. They finished third in the league and captured the Coppa Italia — but Allegri was still sacked right after the final. The board clearly expected a step forward, bringing in a new coach and spending heavily to revamp the squad. But Thiago Motta fell short — losing to Milan in the Supercoppa, to PSV in the Champions League, and to Empoli in the cup. When a disastrous Serie A run saw heavy losses to Atalanta (0-3) and Fiorentina (0-4), his dismissal became inevitable. His replacement, Igor Tudor, has done better at home against weaker opposition, but failed to impress away — drawing with Roma and losing to Parma. The 1-1 draw with Bologna in the last round showed they're still far from their best, especially against direct competitors.
Since autumn 2022, the home side has won all eight of their meetings. Juventus have five wins over that stretch, including a 1-0 victory in Turin back in October. Lazio are seen as favourites at home, but Juventus under Tudor may be strong enough to avoid defeat in Rome. Back the visitors on a double chance — draw or away win.
Prediction for the match: Juventus not to lose (X2).
