Juventus will aim to extend their unbeaten streak this season when they face Lazio tonight at the Allianz Stadium.
Juventus have made a statement with their undefeated run since the start of the season across all competitions. Manager Thiago Motta has played an influential role in syncing young talents with regular first-choice players to upgrade the Bianconeri’s performances. The Italian confirmed six absences in his pre-match press conference ahead of the clash as he ruled out Teun Koopmeiners, Arkadiusz Milik, Gleison Bremer, Nico Gonzalez, Weston McKennie and the suspended Francisco Conceicao. However, Juventus are set to have Timothy Weah and Nicolo Fagioli available for selection.
Meanwhile, Lazio might have lost once this season but they are tied on points (13) with Juventus in the league standings. Since their 2-1 defeat to Fiorentina last month, the Biancocelesti have registered four wins out of the four played with victories over Dynamo Kyiv, Torino, Nice and Empoli. Marco Baroni is set to have a full contingent available for selection tonight with the exception of Manuel Lazzari. Matteo Guendouzi is expected to be fit for the match after he bruised his toe during the international break.
Here are the predicted line-ups for the match according to Sky Italia:
Juventus (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Savona, Gatti, Kalulu, Cabal; Locatelli, Thuram; Cambiaso, Douglas Luiz, Yildiz; Vlahovic.
Lazio (4-2-3-1): Provedel; Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Nuno Tavares; Guendouzi, Rovella; Isaksen, Dia, Zaccagni; Castellanos.
