We have a tasty top-four clash to close out the first phase of the Serie A season, with Juventus hosting Lazio at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday night.
As we head into the final round of fixtures before the World Cup break, Lazio sit second in the table – eight points shy of high-flying Napoli.
On the flip side, Juventus find themselves fourth – two points behind Lazio and one point clear of fifth-place Inter Milan.
On Thursday, Juventus extended their winning streak in Serie A to five games with a 1-0 victory at Hellas Verona.
Following wins over Torino (0-1), Empoli (4-0), Lecce (0-1) and Inter Milan (2-0), Max Allegri’s side have won each of their past five league games without conceding a single goal.
With that in mind, it is no surprise that Juve boast the best defensive record in the Serie A – having conceded a measly seven goals in 14 outings this term.
Allegri’s men have tasted defeat on just two occasions in the league this season, so they will be confident of sealing a sixth straight win this weekend.
Meanwhile, Lazio claimed a 1-0 victory over Monza in midweek – meaning the Eagles have won three of their last four Serie A games.
When you look at the bigger picture, the club from the capital have won seven of their previous nine Serie A outings – keeping eight clean sheets along the way.
Funnily enough, Lazio have the second-best defensive record in the division after conceding eight goals in 14 clashes this term.
It is also worth noting that Lazio have scored five goals more than Juventus, giving them a better goal different than the Old Lady.
Head-to-head: Lazio have failed to win any of their last five league meetings with Juventus, recording two draws and three losses in that time.
Across all competitions, six of the previous eight meetings between Juventus and Lazio have produced over 2.5 goals.
Team news: Paul Pogba, Dusan Vlahovic, Samuel Iling, Marley Ake and Kaio Jorge are all currently injured for Juventus.
Lazio have no injuries or suspensions to worry about, meaning head coach Maurizio Sarri has a full-strength squad at his disposal.
With both sides enjoying a strong run of form at the moment, Juventus and Lazio are expected to dish up a close-fought battle on Sunday.
Forebet predicts that Juventus and Lazio will play out a low-scoring draw in Turin, with both sides netting under 1.5 goals.
