The Lazio vs. Juventus match will be played on Saturday, March 3, at the Olympic Stadium, Rome. This is the derby match of Serie A round 27. Lazio is currently 3rd on the table with 52 points, while Juventus is 2nd on the table with 65 points at the moment.
In their previous ten meetings, Lazio recorded two wins, Juventus had seven victories, while one match ended in a row. However, it is interesting that Lazio won the last two games they played, both in Torino. Lazio failed to defeat Juventus in Serie A when playing at home since 2003!
Lazio was eliminated from Italian Cup in midweek. Milan was better after a penalty shootout, so they have only one more chance to lift the trophy this season - Europa League. Lazio eliminated FCSB in the first knockout round by 5:2 on aggregate and they will face Dynamo Kyiv in the next round. In Serie A, they want to stay in the top four and qualify for Champions League. Inter is only one point behind, while Roma is two points behind them, so it is clear they mustn't lose against Juventus in the upcoming game.
