Lazio will take on Juventus on Saturday, 10 May, in a huge clash in the race for European football in Serie A.
Both teams come into the match locked together on 63 points, with goal difference being the only thing separating Juventus in fourth and Lazio in sixth.
With Italy missing out on the extra Champions League place this year, it's back to just being the top four in Serie A who qualify for Europe's biggest competition next season, adding more importance to this clash.

Lazio vs Juventus prediction: The hosts to edge it
Key Stats
- Lazio are unbeaten across their last seven domestic matches.
- Lazio have won their last three home matches against Juventus.
- Both teams have scored in three of Juventus' last five Serie A matches.
Correct score prediction: Lazio 2-1 Juventus
Juventus have not enjoyed playing at the Stadio Olimpico against Lazio in recent years, and considering the hosts have picked up form in recent weeks, the Old Lady could be in for another disappointing trip to the capital. Juventus have scored at least one goal in five of their last six matches, though, so a win to nil is highly unlikely.
Pre-game odds and win probability: A close match to call
- HOME: 7/5 (2.40) – 41.7%
- DRAW: 23/10 (3.30) – 30.3%
- AWAY: 15/8 (2.88) – 34.8%

Lazio preview: Full-backs to return
Lazio have been given a boost this week by the return of Manuel Lazzari and Nuno Tavares. The duo are expected to come straight into the starting XI should they pass a late fitness test on Friday. There are doubts around the availability of Adam Marusic after he picked up an injury last time out against Empoli. Elseid Hysaj is guaranteed to miss out after picking up a red card last week.
Predicted lineup: Mandas (GK), Marusic, Romagnoli, Gila, Pellegrini, Guendouzi, Rovella, Isaksen, Dia, Zaccagni, Castellanos

Juventus preview: Issues at both ends of the pitch
For a game of this magnitude, Igor Tudor would certainly like more players available. In defence, he could be without as many as five players, with Lloyd Kelly and Andrea Cambiaso recently joining the injury list. Up top, the absence of Kenan Yildiz is a big one with the teenage winger out again due to suspension.
Predicted lineup: Di Gregorio (GK), Kalulu, Veiga, Savona, Weah, Thuram, Locatelli, McKennie, Conceicao, Gonzalez, Kolo Muani

Player to watch: Mattia Zaccagni
Mattia Zaccagni has once again been a reliable player in midfield for Lazio this season, contributing eight goals and six assists in Serie A. If he can find three more goals and one more assist over the course of the next three weeks, then he will have beaten his previous best for Lazio in both categories. It would also more than likely see Lazio qualify for the Champions League.
