Lazio vs Juventus Prediction and Betting Tips | April 23rd 2024
Juventus will be looking to secure their spot in the 2023-24 Coppa Italia final when they visit the Stadio Olimpico to face Lazio in the second leg of their semi-final clash on Tuesday.
Having suffered a 2-0 first-leg defeat on April 2, Igor Tudor’s men will head into the game seeking to overturn their two-goal deficit and make a remarkable comeback.
Lazio continue to push for a place in Europe as they scraped a 1-0 victory over Genoa at the Estadio Luigi Ferraris in their Serie A clash last Friday.
A run of four wins in their last five league outings has seen Tudor’s side surge into seventh place in the standings, two points adrift of sixth-placed Atalanta in the Europa League qualification spot.
Lazio now turn their attention to the Coppa Italia, where they saw off Genoa and AS Roma en route to the semi-finals before losing 2-0 to against Juventus in their semi-final first-leg tie on April 2.
Juventus, on the other hand, turned in a resilient team display as they fought back from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 draw at Cagliari at the Sardegna Arena last Friday.
With that result, Massimiliano Allegri’s men have gone four consecutive games without defeat in all competitions, picking two wins and two draws since a 1-0 defeat against Lazio in the Serie A on March 30.
Juventus have enjoyed a stellar Coppa Italia run so far, scoring 12 goals and keeping two clean sheets while brushing aside Salernitana and Frosinone in their first two rounds.
