Lazio vs Juventus Prediction

Lazio are 5th in Serie A, three points ahead of Juventus. Manager Maurizio Sarri won the league with Juventus during his single season at the club, and while Lazio might have different ambitions, Sarri will surely look to show his former club what they are missing.

Juventus, on the other hand, are 8th in the league, and have won only two of their last five league games. It has been a tough domestic season so far for Massimiliano Allegri's men.

A close match is on the cards, but Juventus should edge past Lazio.

Prediction: Lazio 0-1 Juventus
