Juventus have scored eight goals in the last two games. But it is difficult for the Old Lady to play against Lazio. Their clash will take place tomorrow at the Stadio Olimpico.

 

The main match of the 7th round of Serie A will be held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Lazio will host Juventus Turin. Both teams did not start the season well. But the Turinese have improved their mood in the last two games.

Juventus, after 3 consecutive draws in Serie A and losing to Barcelona in the Champions League, beat Spezia and Ferencvaros 4: 1. Nonetheless, the game against Lazio will probably be a more accurate test to see if Andrea Pirlo’s team played better than they did in the opening games of the season.

Cristiano Ronaldo returned after a forced pause caused by Coronavirus and doubled in the very first game, but failed to show himself with Ferencvaros. Alvaro Morata, who is among the top scorers in the Champions League and has already scored 6 goals in the season, is in excellent shape. Andrea Pirlo will also put this pair in the starting lineup, while Paulo Dybala will still be on the bench, despite being well involved in the game against Argentine Ferencvaros.

Lazio did not start the season really well and gained only 10 points in 6 rounds. In the previous round, the Romans beat Torino in Turin, in a cool drama. The referee added 8 minutes to the game, Simone Inzaghi’s team lost until the 94th minute (2: 3), but Ciro Immobile and Felipe Caicedo won 4: 3.

It is noteworthy that Lazio is the only Italian team that has not lost in the Champions League this season (1 win, 2 draws). Lazio almost lost against Zenit on Wednesday, but Felipe Caicedo saved his club by scoring in the 82nd minute (1: 1).
