[Coppa Italia] Lazio Vs Juventus Prediction

In the upcoming Italian Cup semi-final, Lazio will face Juventus in a match set for Tuesday, April 23rd, at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Igor Tudor's Lazio aims to avenge their previous defeat against Juventus, who have been struggling lately.

Under Tudor's guidance, Lazio has shown signs of improvement, securing consecutive victories against Genoa (1-0) and Salernitana (4-1) after their disappointing loss to Roma in the Derby della Capitale on April 6th.

In their recent encounters, Lazio narrowly defeated Juventus 1-0 in a Serie A clash on March 30th but then suffered a 2-0 loss in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final, adding pressure ahead of the return leg in Rome.

Despite their Coppa Italia win against Lazio, Juventus has been enduring a poor run of form, with only two wins in their last 12 Serie A matches. Their latest result was a 2-2 draw with Cagliari, salvaged by a last-minute own goal.

Securing a Champions League spot seems likely for Juventus, with Massimiliano Allegri expected to depart in the summer. However, their focus now turns to the Coppa Italia as their chance to salvage a lackluster season, as mere qualification for the Champions League may not suffice for fans and club management.

While Lazio remains optimistic about their Italian Cup prospects, their previous match against Juventus raises doubts about achieving their goal.

Lazio (3-4-2-1): Mandas; Patric, Romagnoli, Gila; Marusic, Guendouzi, Kamada, Hysaj; Felipe Anderson, Luis Alberto; Castellanos

Prediction: Lazio - Juventus = 1 - 0
