Sunday evening at the Allianz Stadium serves up a heavyweight Serie A clash as Juventus welcome Lazio to Turin on Matchday 7, with kickoff set for 19:45 WAT. The hosts arrive just 72 hours after a draining 2-1 Europa League comeback victory at Celta Vigo, sealed by Randal Kolo Muani’s 90+2′ winner, while the visitors enjoyed a full week’s rest, sit second in the table and remain unbeaten in the league. This Juventus vs Lazio prediction breaks down where the betting value lies.
Our Juventus vs Lazio prediction is a tense, low-margin stalemate between an injury-hit Juventus side missing several key players and without Luciano Spalletti on the touchline, and a Lazio team boasting a perfect away record this season. The 1X2 market offers little value on the hosts, so take a look at our latest Serie A betting tips for more weekend value.
Juventus vs Lazio Match Preview
Juventus’ recent league run has been patchy, with just one win from their last four Serie A matches (3W-2D-1L, 11 points, 6th). A 1-1 draw at Cagliari last weekend – rescued by Kolo Muani’s 81st-minute equaliser despite 72% possession and 22 shots – was followed by Thursday’s morale-boosting comeback at Celta Vigo, although there was also a behind-closed-doors friendly defeat to Cremonese to balance the books.
Lazio, by contrast, are flying under Gennaro Gattuso. They are unbeaten in Serie A (5W-1D-0L, 16 points, 2nd) and have won all three away matches, conceding just once and keeping two clean sheets. A 3-1 home win over Monza last weekend kept the momentum rolling. That record is central to our Juventus vs Lazio prediction.

Key Stats
The numbers behind our Juventus vs Lazio prediction tell a clear story:
- Juventus are playing just 72 hours after a draining Europa League comeback at Celta Vigo, with heavy rotation expected from Luciano Spalletti’s depleted squad.
