Saturday, at 19:00, Juventus will receive the visit of Lazio Roma in a match for the 8th round in Serie A. The match will take place on “Allianz Stadium” in Turin.

Launching “Old Ladies”

After seven consecutive titles conquered in Italy, he feels the advent of a change. Juventus has started the season again, making one wrong step in front of Atalanta, but the thing that should worry most about “bianconeri” is the overwhelming solidity Napoli does not seem to think of to give up the leader throne until the end of the season. Thus, even with an offensive system made up of Higuain, Dybala and Mandzukic, “The Lady of God” does not reveal that gigantic difference to the adversary we see in recent years. That is why even Lazio could have her chance Saturday evening in Turin.

You are as usual

Beginning the new season in a regular note, by winning the Super Cup even in front of Juventus (3-2), Lazio looks good. With five wins in seven stages and a semi-accident in the inaugural round in front of Spal (0-0), we can see that the only wrong step made by “biancocelesti” was in front of the unbeatable Napoli (1-4) no one seems to be able to stand in the way this season. Moreover, even without Keita Balde, transferred to AS Monaco, the lasils look stronger than ever before, proof is the strength demonstration of the previous round in front of Sassuolo (6-1).

Conclusions & tips

Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a balanced deployment of hostilities. Although Juventus is a clear favorite in the eyes of supporters, the game “Old Ladies” is no longer as convincing as in the last season, as we mentioned above. Thus, we can not rule out a semi-final Saturday evening in Turin, but without complicating ourselves, we will bet on a pragmatic scenario, giving them credit to the capitolites.
