In the early hours of Friday morning, there was more drama in the semi-final of the Italian Cup, with Juventus taking on Lazio at the Allianz Arena. Juventus’ recent slump in form has been marked by just one win in their last four matches, and the Bianconeri will have to be on their guard against a surging Lazio side.
Juventus:
Juventus have scored consistently at home, in the last 22 consecutive competitions, while occasionally going blank away from home. Juventus have the ball at home, scoring at least two goals in 15 of their last 16 matches and 2.5 goals in eight of their last 11. That was the Last 10 Match. Juventus have been penalised for points this season, the league title is out of the question, the Coppa Italia is becoming more important, and with a superior record in the head-to-head competition, there is still hope for a win.
[Disadvantage] Juventus are no longer as strong as they were in their prime. Recently, they suffered a 3-match defeat in Serie A, plus points deduction for off-field factors.
Lazio:
Lazio’s recent form has improved dramatically, with 3 wins and 1 draw in the last 4 matches, remaining unbeaten. Lazio’s attack is relatively good, with only two draws in the last 15 matches and an average efficiency of nearly two goals per game. Lazio’s away half – quality is still good, the last 10 league away as many as nine games with the ball.
[Disadvantage] Lazio in recent years to play Juve in the past, the disadvantage is obvious, the last 6 encounters were 2 draws 4 losses, never win.
[Match time] 2023-02-03 04:00
Venue: Allianz Arena, Turin
Although Juventus has won 3 and drawn 1 unbeaten record in the past 4 home games against Lazio, but the former’s recent state has been declining, the last two games a win is difficult to find, and the match has been defeated by promoted Monza, Juventus might as well take the legal time as the goal more realistic.
