Juventus
Match Time & Date:
02/02/2023
12:00 PM
Prediction: 1-0
Lazio
The ground at Allianz Stadium will shake when Juventus and Lazio take on each other in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals. The Bianconeri suffered a shocking 2-0 loss to Monza on Sunday, and, no doubt, the 15-point deduction in Serie A has big influence on the team’s displays. The good news for the hosts is that key attacker Dusan Vlahovic made his return from injury at the weekend, while both Juan Cuadrado and Federico Chiesa are major doubts.
Meanwhile, the Biancocelesti head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Fiorentina. Since Lazio failed to impress in the last league match, we are tempted to put our money on Juve, who are desperate to get back on course. Fit-again striker Ciro Immobile returns to the starting XI, while Stefan Radu should miss out with injury. Manuel Lazzari is pushing for a start as well.
Highlighted Player (Leonardo Bonucci):
Over the years Leonardo Bonucci has established himself as one of Juve’s key defenders. The 190-cm-tall centre back, who is capable of playing as a right back as well, was born in Viterbo on 1 May, 1987 and he started his senior career at Inter. However, he made no more than one league appearance for the Nerrazzurri between 2005 and 2009.
After ending his loan spells with the likes of Treviso and Pisa, he joined Bari in 2009 and he scored one goal in 38 league games for the club. Juventus signed him in July, 2010 for a fee of €15.5 million. Leonardo Bonucci won his fifth Scudetto with Juve in the 2015/2016 season and he played in the 2014/2015 Champions League final against Barcelona. However, the Bianconeri were beaten by Barca in the title game.
Bonucci made his Italy debut on 3 March, 2010 and two years later he participated in the Euro 2012 final against Spain. The Azzurri were hammered by Vicente del Bosque’s troops 4-0 in the Olympic Stadium clash.
Highlighted Team (Lazio):
Lazio Roma are an Italian football club based in Rome. Lazio were founded in 1900 and they compete in the Serie A. The Biancocelesti (The White and Sky Blues) have won two Serie A trophies (1973/1974, 1999/2000), while lifting six Coppa Italia titles.
The capital club play their home games at Stadio Olimpico and Roma are regarded as Lazio’s main rivals.
The two teams face each other in the Derby della Capitale and it is considered the fiercest inter-city derby in Italy. Lazio won UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1999, with the team beating Mallorca in the title game. The same year they managed to clinch the UEFA Super Cup trophy as they outplayed English giants Manchester United at Stade Louis II, Monaco.
The likes of Pavel Nedved, Giuseppe Favalli, Juan Sebastian Veron, Sinisa Mihajlovic, Roberto Mancini, Giuseppe Signori, Miroslav Klose and Simone Inzaghi are notable footballers who played for Lazio in the past.
