Juventus and Lazio meet in the Serie A big derby this Sunday at the Allianz Stadium. After the last two wins, the Old Lady is 4th in the Serie A standings, while on the other hand, Lazio is 8th, outside the zone that leads to the international stage, and it’s probably going to stay there. That is, if they don’t improve sharply in the next several rounds.

Odds suggest that the hosts are big favourites, but we all know that Juve tends to oscillate. However, we have to admit that in recent times Spalletti’s crew has played good football and shown a decent degree of consistency, apart from the devastation in Coppa Italia in Bergamo. Lazio is the unpredictable side in this clash, and they are the actual enigma here.

Juventus VS Lazio Preview

Juventus

Juve had four matches in a row without a defeat before losing to Atalanta this midweek in Bergamo. It was a Coppa Italia event, where hosts hammered Spalletti and his unit, 3-0. After a series of excellent results in which the defense held Juve and pushed forward, this was a pretty unexpected outcome.

Just to mention that Juventus had 6 clean sheets in 9 appearances before the trip to Bergamo, meaning that the back line did its job very well. Also, Juve didn’t allow a goal in the past three games at home.

Juventus is very confident at home, where it hasn’t lost since the start of the year. Also, in the past 8 matches at the Allianz Stadium, Juventus has won 7 times, and in all those encounters, they have scored twice or more.

Lazio

The Eagles are very shaky these days. Over the recent 10 matches, we saw them win only three times, with five ties and two defeats. So, they don’t lose often, but on the other hand, they aren’t winning as well. And that’s the reason why this team isn’t in the zone, which leads to the European competitions.

Lazio’s games are very dull to watch and don’t feature many goals. And that especially goes for road games, where just one of the last 10 had three or more goals, and all the others had two or fewer.

Also, 9 of those matches ended with just one side netting, which definitely proves that Lazio plays inefficiently. By the way, they recorded 5 clean sheets during that span.

Juventus VS Lazio Head to Head

Lazio was better in the first part of the season, winning 1-0 in Rome. The only goal was scored in the 9th minute when Basic hit the back of the net.

Overall, when these two sides meet, there aren’t too many goals, and history backs that up. Only one of the previous 6 games between these teams had ended with three or more hits. This is good to know for football betting activities.

Juventus VS Lazio Predictions

Juventus is good at home, and they are not going to miss a chance to take three points and extend their very good form. Lazio is very conservative on the road, though; they don’t win often, despite all the clean sheets. So, for many under 2.5 goals, here is the top bet, but we are taking Juve to triumph.
