Juventus return to Serie A action looking to translate their impressive European performances into improved domestic results.
The Old Lady boosted their confidence in midweek by coming from behind to beat Celta Vigo 2-1, preserving their perfect record in European competition.
However, their domestic performances have been less convincing, with a 1-1 draw against Cagliari leaving them with just one victory in their last four Serie A matches.
After six league fixtures, the Bianconeri have collected 11 points, courtesy of three wins, two draws and one defeat.
Their latest league outing also ended in controversy, as head coach Luciano Spalletti was sent off following a confrontation with the opposing manager and will be unavailable on the touchline for this encounter.
Juventus will hope their strong home record can help them cope with his absence, having remained unbeaten at home across all competitions this season with three wins and one draw.
Lazio, meanwhile, arrive in Turin after a convincing 3-1 victory over Monza, a result that kept them level on points with Inter at the top of the Serie A table ahead of this round.
Gennaro Gattuso’s team have made an excellent start to the campaign, remaining unbeaten through their opening six matches with five wins and one draw.
Their outstanding form has continued away from home, where they have won all three league fixtures this season.
Lazio have scored five goals and conceded just once while keeping two clean sheets in those three away games.
