Juventus vs Lazio predictions and betting tips on February 2, 2023
On February 2, Allianz Stadium (Turin) will host the 1/4 final match of the Coppa Italia, in which Juventus will compete with Lazio. The battle will start at 21:00 CET.
Juventus
The club is now more concerned about what happens not on the football arenas, but at the court sessions and other law enforcement agencies. A fifteen-point penalty has already been imposed, and, at the same time, new penalties are being prepared, including individual ones for the players. Allegri linked Szczesny’s mistake in the struggle against Atalanta with the higher mentioned troubles. That game, at least, finished with a 3-3 draw. Still, even before that the giant had been defeated by the current leader, Napoli, with a 1-5 score, which ended a nice series of victories, even if a lot of them were minimal, like a 1-0 one. Moreover, that state of things was followed by a home 0-2 misfire with Monza – that was the second time per the season when the debutant got a success!
Lazio
The team was left without a long-term mentor, Simone Inzaghi, in 2021 – he decided to move to Inter, which even now has got more opportunities. However, the situation didn’t get worse, on the contrary, the invitation of Maurizio Sarri became a new noticeable impetus, which ended with a rise to the 5th place. Nowadays, Juventus is out of the run for a place in the Champions League. And these are “the Eagles” who can take advantage of this “window of opportunity”. It goes without saying that it is also necessary to prevent their own misfires, especially those, which have happened at the beginning of the new calendar year. Then, leading during the match with Lecce, “the White and Sky Blues” were defeated with a final 1-2 score; the next battle was also lost – the team conceded twice from Empoli in the last 10 minutes of the game. However, the things improved both in the Coppa Italia and in the Serie A, where Milan was more than hopeless – 4-0. As a result, the club seemed to have “overcelebrated” – the match against Fiorentina ended with a 1-1 draw.
The statistics of head-to-head matches
Juventus got a 3-0 victory at the same arena in the autumn, however, that happened in the Serie A. Thus, the unbeaten streak in its head-to-head matches with Lazio reached 6 games in a row.
Predictions
Juventus is considered to be a favourite of the following battle, but is it really ready to prove such a status now? We bet that Maurizio Sarri will not lose to his former players (odds: 1.79).
