Both of these sides have endured challenging starts to the campaign. Maurizio Sarri has returned from his 15-month managerial sabbatical trying to rediscover the form that carried Lazio to a second place finish, while Juventus’ own revival under Igor Tudor has yet to convince their fanbase.

Lazio GK to Make 3+ Saves

Lazio’s defensive frailties remain a recurring theme this season, and the workload faced by Provedel only highlights this. The Italian has averaged 4.33 saves per game across all competitions and has made at least four in all but one of his outings so far, with recent returns of 6, 5, 5 and 5.

While Juventus’ attack has struggled to convert chances into goals, their creation has never been in doubt. They have forced opposition goalkeepers into three or more saves in six of their last seven matches. This fixture is often tight on goals but rarely short on efforts, and Provedel should once again be busy.

Juventus Over 1.5 Cards

Discipline has not been Juventus’ most concerning feature this season, but meetings with Lazio usually bring a sharper edge. Tudor’s side are averaging 1.4 cards per game across all competitions, rising to 1.57 in Serie A, and have picked up two or more in four of seven matches.

Lazio’s ability to draw fouls makes this a strong angle, as their opponents have averaged exactly three bookings per game, with five of seven passing this line.

History supports the trend, with Juventus receiving at least two cards in nine of the last 10 head-to-head meetings, the only exception coming in an, arguably, less-intense cup encounter.

Kenan Yildiz to have 2+ Shots

Yildiz has been Juventus’ most direct and dangerous attacking outlet, leading his side for shot output at 2.54 per 90. He has reached this line in seven of 10 matches, a testament to his consistency and confidence from the left flank.

The Turkish international’s pace, quick feet and willingness to cut inside regularly open shooting lanes, especially against sides that push their full-backs high. With Juventus likely to exploit Lazio’s pressing structure on the counter, Yildiz should find ample space to get at least two efforts away.

Nuno Tavares to Commit 1+ Fouls

Lazio’s full-backs are often caught high and exposed to counterattacks, a pattern that puts Tavares in a challenging position. The Portuguese defender will likely face his compatriot Conceição, who is winning 1.94 fouls per 90 with match returns of 3, 2 and 3 in his last three starts.

The duel looks set to be a difficult one for Tavares, whose own disciplinary record is concerning. He averages 1.55 fouls per 90 and has committed at least one foul in five of his six starts this season.

📈 Lazio v Juventus Form & Tactics

Lazio’s season has struggled to ignite, with just two victories from their opening seven matches (D2, L3) leaving them in the bottom half of the table. A modest three-game unbeaten run has offered faint optimism, though their success has largely come against weaker opposition, with both league wins arriving against sides starting this round in the relegation zone.

The Olimpico has not been the fortress it once was either, as Lazio have claimed only two wins from their last 15 home league outings (D9, L4). Defensive inconsistency continues to be a concern, with just one clean sheet in their last 15 home games.

Juventus and Igor Tudor arrive under pressure after a narrow 1–0 defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League. That defeat, whilst valiant, extended their winless run across all competitions to seven (D5, L2). Goals have dried up worryingly too, with the Bianconeri failing to score in their last three matches, and their struggles on the road persist, just two wins in their last nine away league fixtures (D4, L3).

This will also mark their third successive away trip in what has been a demanding week that has visibly tested squad depth and intensity. Juventus tend to raise their game in Rome, having drawn both visits to the capital last season, even if historical pattern does favour home advantage, with eight of the last nine league meetings between these two having been won by the hosts.


📔 Lazio v Juventus Formation & Team News

Lazio are expected to retain their 4-3-3 structure, which prioritises balance and wide interplay. Baroni’s system relies on the energy of his midfield trio to press and recycle possession, with Gustav Isaksen and Mattia Zaccagni supporting Boulaye Dia in attack.

The full-backs, Tavares and Marušić, provide most of the width, though that leaves Lazio occasionally vulnerable to quick counters. Baroni has no major injury concerns and is likely to keep faith with the side that earned a point last weekend, hoping home support can spark a response.

Juventus will persist with Tudor’s disciplined 3-4-2-1 shape, which seeks to tighten defensive gaps while enabling wing-backs to stretch play. Andrea Cambiaso and Pierre Kalulj are expected to operate in those wider roles, supplying service to Dusan Vlahović, who leads the line with support from Conceição and Kenan Yıldız drifting between the lines.

Tudor’s side have looked solid in spells but lack fluidity in possession, something they will aim to address here. With no fresh injury setbacks, the Bianconeri are likely to field their strongest available lineup as they look to snap a seven-game winless run.
