Juventus v Lazio Prediction
Best Bet: Lazio to win or draw - double chance @ 11/8
It hasn't quite clicked for Juventus in Serie A, as they boast a win-draw-loss record of 3-2-1, but they head into this contest on the back of another UEFA Europa League victory.
The Old Lady secured a 2-1 comeback win at Celta Vigo on Thursday to extend their perfect record in the league phase, having thrashed Nijmegen 5-0 in their opening fixture.
While happy with that Spanish success, Juventus have had less time to prepare for this visit of Lazio and the hosts are already walking wounded, with Manuel Locatelli, Kenan Yildiz, Khephren Thuram and Jeff Ekhator sidelined while Jeremie Boga is a doubt.
Lazio have no European affair to deal with and they will be nicely rested after last Sunday's 3-1 home win over Monza, a result that made it five victories and a draw from their six league matches.
Gennaro Gattuso's side have won all three away games, beating Bologna, Udinese and Venezia, and they look capable of getting at least a point from this contest.
However, Juventus are unbeaten at home, winning three and drawing one, and the safer play looks to be backing Lazio in the double chance market.
Alternative Bet: Federico Gatti over 1.5 fouls committed @ 12/5
Juventus defender Federico Gatti was in the thick of the action in Thursday's win over Celta, as he committed four fouls but somehow managed to evade a caution.
The Italy international has made a total of five fouls across his last two appearances and he looks capable of being pulled up by the referee at least twice against Lazio.
Juventus v Lazio Bet Builder Tip
Jhon Lucumi to be booked
Randal Kolo Muani to score or assist
Tijjani Noslin anytime goalscorer
Pays 35/1
Juventus defender Jhon Lucumi picked up his third booking of the season against Celta and he may struggle to stay out of the referee's notebook in what could be a physical battle against Lazio.
Randal Kolo Muani has scored or assisted in four of his last six appearances for the Old Lady and he will be confident of adding to either of those tallies.
Tijjani Noslin has found his shooting boots for Lazio, scoring twice in his last three matches, and he will fancy his chances of notching against a Juventus defence without a clean sheet in two games.
