Prediction: 1-0
Lazio
A spot in the Coppa Italia final will be at stake when Juventus and Lazio face each other in a highly-anticipated double-header. The Bianconeri are hungry for revenge following the Serie A loss to Lazio at Stadio Olimpico and we are positive that the hosts will leave their hearts on the field. Both Weston McKennie and Samuel Iling Junior are pushing for a start, while Nicolo Fagioli remains on the sidelines through suspension. All Alex Sandro, Filip Kostic, and Arkadiusz Milik remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The capital club, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating both Frosinone and Juve in the last two league matches, but they will have a mountain to climb in Tuesday’s Italian Cup game. Anyhow, home win should be considered as key Juventus attacker Dusan Vlahovic is back from the Serie A ban. Both Ivan Provedel and Nicolo Rovella are injured for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Weston McKennie):
After starting his youth career at FC Dallas, Weston McKennie moved to Germany in the summer of 2016, signing a contract with Bundesliga side Schalke 04. The American footballer made his Bundesliga debut on May 20, 2017, coming as a substitute in the 77th minute of the match.
The talented midfielder scored his first goal in the German elite division on August 6, 2018 in a 2-0 win at Fortuna Dusseldorf. Speaking of his international career, the Schalke footballer made his debut with United States of America on November 14, 2017 in a friendly against Portugal, finding the net on his debut.
Weston McKennie has two caps for the USA U20 team as well. His main position is central midfield, but he used as both defensive and attacking midfielder as well. The USA international was born in Fort Lewis, Washington on August 28, 1998. His preferred foot is right.
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.
