Juventus Missing Key Midfielders Ahead of Lazio Clash
Juventus have collected 11 points from six league matches, scoring nine goals and conceding five. However, their recent performances have been inconsistent, with just two victories in their previous five Serie A fixtures.
Edon Zhegrova and Bremer remain Juve’s key players. Both have scored two goals in Serie A.
Luciano Spalletti faces significant selection problems. Kenan Yildiz, Manuel Locatelli and Khéphren Thuram are sidelined, with Locatelli not expected back until February, removing creativity and midfield control. Jérémie Boga is also out.
Juventus predicted lineup vs Lazio (3-4-2-1): Vicario; Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumí; Çelik, Douglas Luiz, Sarr, McKennie; Conceição, Nico González; Kolo Muani.
Lazio's Unbeaten Start Faces a Difficult Test in Turin

However, Lazio have personnel concerns. Albert Gudmundsson and Nicolò Rovella remain unavailable, while Adam Marušić and Matteo Cancellieri face fitness doubts.

Key stats:
- Juventus average 1.5 goals per Serie A match.
- Lazio average 1.83 goals per league match.
- Over 1.5 goals landed in three of the last five Juventus-Lazio league meetings at Allianz Stadium.
Juventus have scored in all of their six league fixtures, including twice against Atalanta and Sassuolo. Their attacking output remains encouraging despite midfield injuries, and Lazio have conceded four goals across their previous five matches.
Lazio also offer considerable attacking threat, having scored 10 goals in their last five league matches. February 2026's 2-2 draw in Turin demonstrated how both attacks can contribute to the total. The main risk is this fixture's low-scoring history. But Lazio's consistency makes Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27 the logical selection.
Juventus vs Lazio Prediction, Value Tip
- Value Tip: Juventus to Win
- Odds: 1.63 (22Bet)

Juventus have won three of their six league matches, but their home record provides a stronger argument than their overall form. They remain unbeaten in their opening three home league fixtures, conceding just once. Their average of 16.7 shots per match highlights the attacking pressure they can generate.
The market may be underestimating Juventus' home advantage, particularly as Lazio have not won a Serie A match in Turin since October 2017. Juventus also have four wins from their previous six home league meetings with Lazio, supporting a narrow home victory despite the hosts having under 72 hours' rest, following their 1-2 victory over Celta.
Verdict: Over 1.5 Goals (1.27) - Juventus 2-1 Lazio.
