The important second legs in the Coppa Italia will be staged this week, as teams look to book their spot in the domestic cup final at the end of the campaign. Juventus will have a healthy advantage ahead of this match in Rome against Lazio after landing a 2-0 success in Turin.
Coppa Italia
It hasn’t been the most straightforward season for Juventus this term, but the Old Lady could yet end the campaign on a high note by securing a much-needed piece of silverware. Juventus come into this match after going three without defeat in Serie A, but they have lost ground on the teams above them based on their form since the turn of the year.
However, the Old Lady have been much more reliable in the Coppa Italia this year, winning all three of their matches to this point. They have allowed just one goal, and they have scored a very impressive 12. The Old Lady holds the advantage ahead of this return leg after securing an impressive 2-0 success in the first meeting between the sides on April 2.
Juventus opened the scoring in Turin after 50 minutes, with Federico Chiesa breaking the deadlock. An important second was added just after the hour mark by Dusan Vlahovic. However, it was their defensive play that made the difference, as they didn’t allow Lazio to register a single shot on target in 90 minutes.
That first leg defeat will give Lazio a mountain to climb in this return showdown in Rome on Tuesday. But, their recent form has at least been impressive, with the hosts coming into this match after winning each of their last two in the league. Lazio have also overcome huge challenges in the Coppa Italia this term after beating Genoa in the round of 16 and AS Roma in the quarterfinal stage.
Lazio vs Juventus Head to Head
Each of the last six matches between these teams across all competitions have been won by the side with home field advantage. Lazio have won each of their last two home matches against their rivals, which includes a 1-0 success at the end of March.
Lazio vs Juventus Prediction
This is a huge challenge for Lazio in the Coppa Italia this week, but confidence will be taken from their recent Serie A form. We could see them securing victory within 90 minutes, but we still expect Juventus to progress through to the final.
