Juventus vs Lazio Prediction
Juventus are fourth in the league. It has been a season of disappointments for the Italian giants, and manager Massimiliano Allegri has his work cut out for the summer. With the likes of Giorgio Chiellini, Alvaro Morata and Paulo Dybala all likely to leave the club, Juventus will have to do some restructuring and be active in the transfer market.
Lazio, on the other hand, are fifth in the league, seven points behind Juventus. Once again, their season has been powered by the goals of Ciro Immobile, while midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has been pivotal as well.
Juventus should edge past Lazio.
Prediction: Juventus 1-0 Lazio
