Juventus are averaging 1.42 goals per Serie A game and although they have only conceded a single goal – that being in the recent 1-1 draw with Cagliari, that will not deter us when looking at this particular line in the over market.

The reason why we have opted for over 1.5 at the price offered is more because of what Lazio are capable of at both ends of the pitch. The Stadio Olimpico outfit may be averaging 2.0 goals per game in the league but are also averaging 1.27 against.

This is just the right balance between enough attacking prowess at one end of the field and enough susceptibility at the other – we can expect a couple of goals here at least.

Another metric to consider before kick-off on Saturday is the number of shots that Juventus are generating per game. More importantly, the number of shots that they are having on target – the numbers look impressive.

When it comes to shots on goal you do not need to possess the highest number, but being the most efficient will certainly help your cause and with Thiago Motta’s men averaging 4.1 shots on target per game, it means just over one in three of those efforts are landing in the back of the net.

Not only that, but their output also suggests that half that number on Saturday should not be too much of an issue against Lazio. Considering whoever is in goal for the visitors will only need to make two saves to tick this leg off as a winner, there is plenty of scope for this to be achieved.

When looking at Juventus’ defensive record this season, the fact that they did not concede a league goal in any of their first six Serie A matches is not a statistic that should be overlooked. However, it is not a statistic that we are going to place too much weight on before they square off with Lazio.

When you consider than Lazio are averaging two goals per game in Serie A at present, I think this game is another where the Juventus will have to sacrifice a clean sheet in order to get a point or three.

Although a 1-1 draw with Lazio and the necessary amount of saves from the visiting goalkeeper would edge us very close to winning the bet, I still think the Old Lady of Turin will be singing the loudest.

The final leg of this bet builder draws me to Dusan Vlahovic and with the Juventus forward having already scored five goals this season, he has been responsible for 50% of the Turin outfit’s domestic scoring output thus far.

Quite the responsibility on the shoulders of the 24-year-old but a responsibility he is more than capable of taking on and because his teammates have been so solid at the back since the start of the campaign, it allows the Serbian star the perfect opportunity to cause havoc up top.

Havoc that hopefully continues at Lazio’s expense on Saturday and with the 24-year-old currently priced at Evens to score at least his sixth league goal of the season, his ability to score arguably offers a better probability than the odds themselves.

On paper, Juventus’ defence has been robust since the opening week of the season and logic may nudge you in the direction of opting for a low-scoring encounter on Saturday. However, I think this is where the logic needs to be ignored.

The main reason to expect goals is because Lazio have certainly not been shy in peppering the opposition’s attack and with an average of 2.0 per Serie A game at present, they have the personnel on hand to help reach our desired total of at least three.

Coming into this game, the Lazio midfielder has committed an average of 1.29 fouls per game and with a tenacious streak such as that, it should be enough to draw the attention of match referee Juan Luca Sacchi.

There is no need for a caution or worse; just a couple of ticking offs will be sufficient in Turin. Considering that he has already picked up two yellow cards in Serie A this season, expect a pair of pauses in the game for disciplinary reasons from him here.

While that focus stays on the eyes of Zaccagni, and if he is going to be putting himself out there in terms of creating fouls against Lazio on Saturday, there is an expectation that he will be earning them at the same time.

Especially when you look at the average number of fouls he has picked up in the first seven games of this new Serie A season. Zaccagni has drawn the opposition out on an average of 2.86 occasions already, and this puts us in the right territory before kickoff.

Therefore, if the Lazio man is in the trenches on Saturday, he could just as easily commit fouls as he would earn them and if these two legs can be ticked off in double quick time, it gives us plenty of time to seal the deal elsewhere.

There is no doubt that Valentin Castellanos has been one of Lazio’s most exciting players since the start of the season and with three league goals to his name already, a goal against Juventus is not out of the question.

Considering the Argentine is averaging 1.83 shots on target this season in Italy’s top tier, our request is below his current output and he should meet this line with ease.
