Preview Lazio vs Juventus, Crucial Match between 2 Teams

Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – A prestigious match took place in the 30th week, namely Lazio versus Juventus, which was played at Lazio's home ground, Stadio Olimpico on Sunday (31/3/2024) at 00.00 WIB.

This match is considered crucial for both teams, both Lazio and Juventus. Both teams are expected to appear persistent.

Both teams must win to secure their respective positions in the standings. If we refer to the last five matches between the two teams, Juventus won three times.

Meanwhile, Lazio only won one win, the rest ended in a draw for both teams.

Juventus is currently still in third place with 59 points. Juventus has won 17 times, drawn eight times and lost four times.

Lazio, who is in 9th position, recorded 13 wins, four draws and 12 defeats, with 43 points.

In their last six matches, Lazio only won twice, while the remaining four times ended in defeat.

Juventus is said to be slightly better, the Bianconeri only won once, the rest was achieved with two defeats and two draws.

Lazio coach, Iqor Tudor is predicted to use a 3-4-2-1 formation when they meet Juventus at home. He will abandon the 4-3-3 formation, which Maurizio Sarri often uses.

With this formation, it is likely that Mario Gila will play in a three-aligned defender scheme. In the midfield it doesn't seem to have changed like in the previous match.

Mateo Retegui will probably still warm up on the bench. Currently, he is having a tough season.

Retegui was unable to compete with Ciro Immobile. The name mentioned last is the club's top scorer, namely six. Taty Castellanos only scored four goals, but two of her goals were scored in the last match.

Goalkeeper Ivan Provedel is still out with an ankle injury. Most likely the goalkeeper position will be occupied by Christos Mandas.

Midfielder Nicolo Rovella also has a groin injury, while Luca Pellegrini is serving a suspension.

Meanwhile, the visiting team will be without Arkadiusz Milik and Carlos Alcaraz. Both will not be used due to injury.

Juventus coach, Massimiliano Allegri will certainly have to lose his striker Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian player has scored 15 league goals this season and is in second place in the Capocannoniere rankings.

Vlahovic was sent off in second-half stoppage time against Genoa two weeks ago and had to serve a suspension.

Moise Kean is likely to be partnered with Federico Chiesa or Kenan Yildiz on Juventus' front line when playing at the Stadio Olimpico.

However, what is noteworthy is that Kean has not scored a goal in 14 Serie A appearances this season. Kean has also not scored in his last 18 league games.

This condition is the longest for a Juventus striker who has not scored a goal for more than 20 years. The following is the predicted line-up for both teams.

Lazio:
Mandas, Gila, Romagnoli, Casale, Lazzari, Guendouzi, Cataldi, Marusic, Alberto, Zaccagni, Immobile

Juventus:
Szczesny, Gatti, Bremer, Danilo, Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic, Chiesa, Kean
