Our prediction for this Serie A match:
All eyes will be on Stadio Olimpico when Lazio and Juventus take on each other in a highly-anticipated Serie A game. The Biancocelesti faced no difficulties in a 3-0 win over Salernitana, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Juve. Sergej Milinkovic Savic is high on confidence after helping Serbia book their ticket for Qatar, and, in Ciro Immobile’s absence (injury), he will be the man to watch in the home team. Montenegro international Adam Marusic has been tested positive for coronavirus.
The Bianconeri, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over ten-man Fiorentina. Max Allegri’s troops aim to revived their Scudetto hopes, and seeing that they will go for a win in Saturday’s clash as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Both Chiellini and De Sciglio are sidelined with injuries, while all Bernardeschi, Dybala, and Bentacur are rated doubtful.
Highlighted Player (Manuel Lazzari):
Born in Valdagno, Italy on November 29, 1993, Manuel Lazzari is a midfielder who plays for Serie A side SPAL. Lazzari played for the youth teams of Montecchio Maggiore at the start of his football career and in 2011 he moved to Delta Rovigo.
After spending the 2011/2012 season at the club, Manuel Lazzarri joined Giacomense in the summer of 2012 and it has to be noted that he made 24 appearances in the league for the club. At the end of the 2012/2013 season the 174-cm-tall footballer moved to SPAL and he quickly established himself as a first-team regular at the club.
Manuel Lazzari had seven assists in 39 appearances for SPAL in the 2016/2017 Serie B campaign and, no doubt, he helped the club secure promotion to the Italian elite division. His main position is right midfield, but he can play as both right-back and right winger if needed. Manuel Lazzari’s contract with SPAL should expire on June 30, 2021.
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.
