Lazio vs. Juventus: Coppa Italia Semifinal Second Leg Preview
Juventus Favored to Advance Despite Lazio's Home Advantage
Juventus will travel to the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Tuesday, April 23, for the second leg of their Coppa Italia semifinal tie against Lazio. The Bianconeri took a 1-0 lead in the first leg in Turin, courtesy of a goal from Angel Di Maria. Lazio will need to overturn that deficit if they want to reach the final, but they will have the advantage of playing in front of their home crowd.
Lazio's Form and Team News
Lazio come into the match in good form, having won their last four matches in all competitions. They are also unbeaten in their last seven home matches. However, they will be without several key players for the match, including Ciro Immobile, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, and Pedro.
Juventus' Form and Team News
Juventus are also in good form, having won their last three matches in all competitions. They will be without Leonardo Bonucci and Paul Pogba for the match, but they will have a strong team available, including Dusan Vlahovic, Federico Chiesa, and Di Maria.
Prediction
Juventus are the favorites to advance to the final, but Lazio will be a dangerous opponent. The Bianconeri have a better squad and more experience in big matches, but Lazio will be buoyed by the home crowd. I predict that Juventus will win the match 2-1, but Lazio will make them work for it.
