Juventus Turin vs. Lazio Roma
The 15th matchday of the Serie A is just around the corner. On Sunday evening, the top match of this matchday will take place at the Allianz Stadium. Second in the table Lazio Roma travel to Turin to face fourth in the table Juventus. Both teams want to win the last match before the 2022 World Cup. A win at the weekend is therefore enormously important for both teams.
At international level, things have not been going well for either team this season. Juventus failed to beat PSG and Benfica in the Champions League and will have to compete in the Europa League next year. Lazio finished third in their Europa League group and will play in the Europa Conference League in the second half of the season.
In the league, however, things are going much better for both teams. Juventus are getting better and better after a bumpy start to the season. During the week, the Old Lady won 1-0 against Hellas Verona, while Lazio beat Monza 1-0 at home in the Olimpico on Thursday evening.

Juventus Form & Balance Check
Juventus’ start to the season has been a middling disaster this season. In the first seven games, the Turin side only picked up two wins this season. However, coach Massimiliano Allegri’s team recovered and won their last five league games in a row. Furthermore, Juventus did not concede a goal in any of the five matches.
Juventus’ game is based on a stable defence. The Old Lady has conceded only seven goals in Serie A this season and has the most stable defence in the entire league. Keeper Wojciech Szczesny has been on the field in eight league games so far. The Polish international goalkeeper has not conceded a goal in six of the eight matches.
The Serbian duo in attack
Juventus’ offence is not that convincing yet. So far Juventus have only scored 21 goals in the league. However, most of Juventus’ goals have a Serbian involvement. Filip Kostić is the Torino’s top provider of assists. The newcomer from Eintracht Frankfurt has contributed five assists in the league so far. His compatriot Dušan Vlahović is the team’s top scorer with six goals. However, Vlahović has been out for the last three games with an injury and the striker could also be absent for the match against Lazio.
Juventus facts & analysis
– Fourth place in Serie A with 28 points.
– Have not lost a home game so far
– Best defence in the league
Lazio form & balance check
Lazio are playing a strong season this year. The team from the capital is currently in second place in the table, but is already eight points behind the outstanding leaders from Napoli. The team of coach Maurizio Sarri has also only lost twice this season. Lazio have never lost on foreign soil. On Thursday, the Eagles won 1-0 against Monza, courtesy of a late goal from Luka Romero.
Immobile still scoring at 32
Similarly to their opponents from Turin, Lazio’s focus is on their defence. The men from the capital conceded only eight goals and are thus the second best team in the league in that area. The Romans have conceded only one more goal than Juventus.
Ciro Immobile is expected to do the job up front again this season. The striker, who has scored 27, 20 and 36 goals in Serie A in recent years, has already found the net six times this season. He is mostly served by midfield maestro Sergej Milinković-Savić. The Serb has already contributed seven assists this season
Lazio facts & analysis
– Lazio are eight points behind league leaders Napoli.
– Second best defence in the league
– Won seven of last nine Serie A games
Predicted line-up – last update on 11 November 2022
Allegri will again send his team onto the field with a three-man backline. In the 3-4-2-1 system, the track players Cuadrado and Kostic are particularly important. De Sciglio, Pogba, McKennie, Aké, Chiesa, Vlahović and Jorge will be out injured. Alex Sandro is also suspended.
Lazio have been playing in a 4-3-3 all season, with Cataldi taking a more defensive role in central midfield. Patric, Lazzari and Zaccagni will probably not be able to play due to injury. Luka Romero will be absent due to suspension.
