Prediction: 1-1
Juventus
All eyes will be on Stadio Olimpico when Lazio and Juventus go head to head in the Serie A derby. The Biancocelesti are eager to cement their spot in the Champions League, but they will have a big fish to fry in Sunday’s derby. Since Montenegro international Adam Marusic is back from suspension, Maurizio Sarri will have a full squad to choose from. Juve, on the other hand, are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win.
The Bianconeri want to rejoin the Champions League race, but beating Lazio in “The Eternal City” is easier said than done. The two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment, and, taking everything into account, the share of spoils is on the horizon. Both Leandro Paredes and Adrien Rabiot are back from suspension, while Paul Pogba remains in the recovery room. All Kaio Jorge, Federico Chiesa, and Leonardo Bonucci are major doubts.
Highlighted Player (Elseid Hysaj):
Born on 2nd February 1994, Elseid Hysaj is an Albanian defender who has spent his entire professional career in Italian Serie A and he is predicted a bright future in the game. Empoli scouts spotted his talent while he was playing for Shodra youth sides, and after three years in the youth team, the full-back was promoted to the first team set up.
Hysaj performed really well in his first three years as a first team regular, helping the Azzurri gain promotion to the top fight in the process. One season in Serie A proved enough for the right-sided defender to secure a big club move as he joined Napoli in the summer of 2015 and immediately nailed down a regular starting berth.
Capable of doing dirty defensive work as well as making forward runs, Hysaj is a modern full-back, who is destined for big things. The talented footballer is already a key member of the Albania national team and he will represent the country at the Euro 2016 finals.
Highlighted Team (Juventus):
Juventus are considered one of the greatest European football clubs. The Bianconeri (The White and Blacks) have won two Champions League trophies (1985, 1996) and they did well to clinch three UEFA Cup titles (1977, 1990, 1993). The Italian giants have won 32 Serie A trophies and it is well known that a number of star players were part of Juve in the past.
The likes of Alessandro Del Piero, Zinedine Zidane, Michel Platini, Lilian Thuram, Filippo Inzaghi, Pavel Nedved and David Trezeguet all played for Juventus, whilst legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has yet to retire. Juve were stripped two domestic trophies during the “Calciopoli” scandal, but despite being relegated to Serie B, the club quickly brought glory days back to Turin. The Bianconeri used to play their home games at Stadio delle Alpi, but nowadays they welcome their rivals at Juventus Stadium.
The capacity of the stadium is 41,475. La Vechhia Signora (The Old Lady) is yet another nickname of the club. Juve’s biggest rivals are Torino and the two local rivals take on each other in the Turin derby.
