Lazio vs Juventus prediction and betting tips on April 23, 2024
In the second leg of the Italian Cup semi-final stage, a match between Lazio and Juventus will take place. The encounter will be held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Tuesday, April 23rd. The game is scheduled to start at 21:00 Central European Time. The forecast for this match has been made by Dailysports experts.
Lazio
The Romans haven't impressed with their results this year and are likely to miss out on the Champions League next season. The team continues to fight for fifth place, but they are trailing Roma by three points, and their neighbors have played two fewer matches. From the matches against top teams, Lazio only has a match left against Inter, and in all other matches, fans can expect a victory. Lazio still harbors hopes for the Italian Cup, but the result of the first match against Juventus casts doubt on achieving this goal.
Juventus
The coach of the Turin team, Massimiliano Allegri, has been on the verge of dismissal for quite some time. This is not surprising, as the team's results have been disappointing lately. Interestingly, in the first half of the season, the "Old Lady" looked decent, but since the beginning of 2024, pragmatic football has stopped yielding results. As a result, Juve lost the second position, and the Italian Cup is the only chance to salvage a mediocre season. It is unlikely that fans and club bosses will be satisfied with a mere qualification for the Champions League.
Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- Lazio has won their last two home matches, but before that, they suffered three consecutive defeats.
- Juventus hasn't been able to win away from home in six consecutive matches. Their last success dates back to January.
- The teams haven't played a draw with each other since 2022.
Lazio vs Juventus Prediction
Juventus is considered a slight favorite in this match, and bookmakers don't believe in Lazio reaching the final at all. The first match ended with a convincing 2-0 victory for Juve, so I suppose there won't be more than 2.5 goals in this game. My bet is under 2.5 total goals.
