Juventus Preview
Juventus is going through one of the worst moments in its last decade after their elimination from the Champions League and the reduction of points in Serie A that practically leaves them without European competitions for next campaign.
With this in mind, winning the Coppa Italia would be a boost in motivation for Massimiliano Allegri’s side, who have gone three Serie A games without a win and struggled to beat Monza in the last 16 of the competition.
Juve’s main problem is that their great strength in the campaign, the defense, has not been solid and allowed 12 goals in the last four games, including five in the crushing defeat against Napoli.
Among the good news is the return of Dusan Vlahovic and Paul Pogba, as well as the fact that the game will be at home, where they only lost for the first time in Serie A last weekend and have scored 24 goals to just eight conceded.
Probable lineup (3-5-1-1): Wojciech Szczesny, Danilo, Bremer, Alex Sandro, Federico Chiesa, Nicolo Fagioli, Manuel Locatelli, Adrien Rabiot, Filip Kostic, Angel Di Maria, Dusan Vlahovic.
Lazio Preview
In Serie A, Lazio have gone four consecutive matches without defeat and can carry that form into the Coppa Italia on Thursday when they visit a struggling Juventus side. Maurizio Sarri’s men are currently in the Champions League places and in the round of 16 of the tournament, despite a narrow win over Bologna, they were in control of the match.
While Juve have struggled to score in recent rounds, Lazio has established itself as one of Italy’s best defenses by allowing the second-lowest number of goals in Serie A with just 16 goals conceded. Moreover, Sarri’s side are not easy to beat away from home, since they have the fourth-best league record playing as visitors with 17 points from nine games and have allowed just six goals during that span.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Ivan Provedel, Elseid Hysaj, Nicolo Casale, Alessio Romagnoli, Adam Marusic, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Danilo Cataldi, Luis Alberto, Felipe Anderson, Pedro, Mattia Zaccagni.
JefeBet Prediction
There is no doubt that, despite Juventus’ poor form, this match will be hard-fought by two clubs that will have to face Inter Milan in the semi-final.
Juve have played very well at home, recovered an important piece in attack and have not lost against Lazio in their last six games with four wins and two draws.
For their part, Lazio have performed well away from home and have been inspired by good performances in Serie A. They have a solid defense and their opponents’ attack is in free fall. In addition, their defense is solid and their opponents’ attack is in free fall.
Prediction: Both teams score (JUV 1 – LAZ 1).
