Socrates

RANDAL KOLO MUANI 0-1

Positivo Alberto Costa

Sí. Salta l'Udinese.

O Juan Esnaider

Partita molto brutta. Se pensiamo che queste due squadre sono in lotta per il quarto posto, siamo messi proprio bene.

Entrerá Conceicao per Nico

Guendozi fallo da dietro ma niente giallo

É vero. Ha i guanti insaponati.

Occasione per Kolo ma il tiro é da dimenticare

Saranno i primi caldi ........

Anche Savona non ci sará contro l'Udinese

Thuram ammonito e salterá l'Udinese.

A Tudor piacciono i granatieri

Una somiglianza incredibile

Serie A Preview: Lazio vs Juventus – Team News, Line-ups & Prediction Despite sitting sixth ahead of the kick-off, Lazio trail their fourth-placed visitors on goal difference alone. However, such is the nature of Serie A’s top-four race that only one point separates four sides, with Bologna and Roma firmly in the mix heading into what promises to be an enthralling season finale. With that in mind, there’s no margin for error as Lazio meet former boss Igor Tudor in a must-win showdown. That’s an extra motive for the Biancocelesti to replicate a 1-0 win from last season’s corresponding fixture and add to a hard-earned victory at bottom-half Empoli a week ago, provided by Boulaye Dia’s first-minute strike. ............ Match Preview Lazio ............ Juventus Juventus’ top-four quest has become increasingly complicated. The club’s ambitions have gradually decreased from the Scudetto hopes to merely securing a Champions League spot. A string of inconsistent performances has seen Tudor’s out-of-form side win just two of their last five league games (D2, L1). However, a favorable schedule can still play into their hands, with Juventus facing bottom-half Udinese and Venezia in the final two rounds. But first, they must navigate this formidable challenge. Tudor’s charges have stuttered on the road against top-nine teams, going winless in their last seven such fixtures (D5, L2). Snapping that unenviable run would see Juventus claim their first league double over Lazio since 2018/19. That’s easier said than done for the Turin heavyweights, who have alternated between drawing and losing (D2, L2) across their last four away league games while averaging just 0.5 goals per match. Team News ............ On the other hand, Juventus are still without long-term absentees Arkadiusz Milik, Gleison Bremer, and Juan Cabal. In addition, Andrea Cambiaso and Lloyd Kelly are in the treatment room, while Kenan Yildiz must serve a suspension after picking up a red against Monza. While Teun Koopmeiners remains unavailable, Tudor should have Dusan Vlahovic at his disposal. Lazio vs Juventus Potential Starting Line-ups Lazio (4-2-3-1): Mandas; Marusic, Romagnoli, Gila, Pellegrini; Rovella, Guendouzi; Isaksen, Dia, Zaccagni; Castellanos. Juventus (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Veiga, Savona; Weah, Locatelli, Thuram, McKennie; Conceicao, Gonzalez; Kolo Muani. Lazio vs Juventus Prediction A moment of brilliance or chaos could settle this tightly balanced showdown as two evenly matched sides go head-to-head. Yet, we’d stick with a draw as the likeliest outcome. Prediction: Draw . Read more -> https://cultofcalcio.com/serie-a-preview-lazio-vs-juventus-team-news-line-ups-prediction/

Tudor confirms double Juventus injury boost for crucial Lazio clash Igor Tudor has confirmed that he will welcome two key first-team players back to his matchday squad for the upcoming Serie A match against Lazio, which has been dubbed a Champions League play-off by various outlets in Italy. ............ Both teams are level on points ahead of kick-off, Roma are between the two sides in the table, also on 63 points, while Bologna sit just one point behind the three of them with three league matches left to play. Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon, Tudor confirmed that he will have both Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Gatti back at his disposal. ............ “Dusan is fine, he did the whole week with us,” Tudor confirmed during his pre-match press conference. “The others will not be there, though, apart from Gatti, who trained with us for a small part and will be on the bench.” ............ With no other players expected to return in time to face Lazio, Juventus will again be without Andrea Cambiaso, Teun Koopmeiners, Lloyd Kelly, Bremer, Juan Cabal and Arkadiusz Milik. .

“Beware” Dino Zoff warns Juventus against playing for a draw against Lazio Juventus managed a draw against Bologna, which kept them above their Emilia-Romagna rivals in the Serie A standings. However, the race for the fourth spot in the league, which guarantees a Champions League qualification, is heating up. With Bologna breathing down their necks, Juventus now faces another serious contender for that coveted position: Lazio. The upcoming match against Lazio is a must-win for Juventus. Should they lose, they will face a tough challenge to make the Champions League, a competition they desperately want to be a part of next season. While the temptation may be there to play for a draw, hoping that it will be enough to stay ahead of Lazio, this approach could prove to be disastrous. According to Juventus legend Dino Zoff, the Bianconeri must go into the match with a winning mindset. ............ “Beware of making calculations thinking you can settle for a draw: you always have to go out on the pitch to win and without thinking about the schedule of subsequent matches. I expect a good, hard-fought match: whoever gets the three points will lay an important foundation for entry into the Champions League.” ............ The team must be ready to give their all when they take on Lazio this weekend. The match represents a pivotal moment in Juventus’ season, and any slip-up could prove costly. With so much at stake, it is clear that Juventus cannot afford to take their foot off the gas. ............ .

Preview: Lazio vs. Juventus - prediction, team news, lineups Meeting for a crucial clash in Italy's Champions League race, Lazio will welcome top-four rivals Juventus to Stadio Olimpico on Saturday. Two of three teams locked together on 63 points in the Serie A standings - along with Lazio's old foes Roma - neither can afford to lose this weekend. Match preview ............ Curiously, Marco Baroni's men have actually accrued more points on the road, recently winning all of their last three away games, but home woes have continued for some time now: Lazio have drawn their last five Serie A matches at Stadio Olimpico. ............ Crucially, though, Juventus beat Lazio 1-0 in Turin earlier this season, and head-to-head records will determine which team qualifies for the Champions League if two or more finish level on points. As both capital clubs are currently equal with Juve - and Bologna are only one point behind - that situation could come to pass, so slip-ups cannot be countenanced with just three rounds remaining. In another clash between two contenders, the Bianconeri held Bologna to a 1-1 draw last Sunday, when Khephren Thuram scored his fourth league goal of the campaign, added to a tally of five assists. Partly responsible for their dismal season, Juve's recent recruitment has rarely worked out, but Thuram is proving to be a valuable addition. The all-action midfielder's current coach, Igor Tudor, has overseen three wins, two draws and one loss since being appointed as interim manager, steadying the ship after a rocky ending to Thiago Motta's ill-fated reign. Tudor - who filled a similar role at Lazio last season - has only gained two points from three away fixtures so far, but he will ideally need six from visits to Lazio and Venezia either side of next week's home game against Udinese. Not only do Juventus require Champions League qualification due to their standing as Italy's most successful club, but major financial issues await if they fail to make Serie A's final top four - so, the pressure is on to leave the Olimpico victorious. ............ Team News ............ Meanwhile, the visitors still have their own defensive dilemmas, as Lloyd Kelly and Federico Gatti recently joined ACL victims Bremer and Juan Cabal on the sidelines; Andrea Cambiaso has now been ruled out by a thigh injury. Furthermore, Igor Tudor must do without suspended forward Kenan Yildiz - who serves the second game of a two-match ban for being sent off against Monza - while Teun Koopmeiners is still struggling with an Achilles problem. In better news for the Bianconeri's interim boss, top scorer Dusan Vlahovic has now recovered and could be named on the bench; Randal Kolo Muani is set to start up front. Lazio possible starting lineup: Mandas; Marusic, Romagnoli, Gila, Pellegrini; Rovella, Guendouzi; Isaksen, Dia, Zaccagni; Castellanos Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Veiga, Savona; Weah, Locatelli, Thuram, McKennie; Conceicao, Gonzalez; Kolo Muani We say: Lazio 0-1 Juventus An incredibly tough game to call, this contest could be decided by just one moment of magic - or madness - as two well-matched teams lock horns. As Lazio's former strength on home turf has recently dissipated, while Juventus are improving under new management, it might be the Bianconeri that move clear of their rivals in an enthralling top-four race. .

Can Juventus recover Dusan Vlahovic for the Lazio game? After surviving a challenging trip to Bologna and securing a draw, Juventus now face another equally difficult and significant fixture. The next match will be crucial in their campaign to finish in the top four of Serie A, a position that guarantees participation in next season’s Champions League. The Bianconeri remain firmly in contention to secure fourth place, but they are aware that their recent form must improve. With only a few games left to play, there is very little margin for error. ............ Lazio, like Juventus, are also vying for a place in next season’s Champions League and will approach the fixture with a similar sense of urgency. ............ Juventus manager Igor Tudor is expected to rely on his strongest players for the clash, but injuries have posed challenges in recent weeks. One player he would particularly like to have available is Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian striker has missed recent matches due to injury, but he is reportedly on the path to full fitness. There is still uncertainty about whether Vlahovic will be fit enough to feature in the upcoming match. Providing an update on his condition, Giovanni Albanese shared insights into the player’s recovery. “I think only Vlahovic will recover, but for the bench. The Serbian is important for Tudor who immediately fielded him as a starter upon his arrival. Even if he were to be used only for a flash of the game, he would still be useful.” ............ .

Should Juventus start another rebuild in the summer including changing Giuntoli? Juventus have made several difficult decisions over the past two seasons as they attempt to recover from another damaging scandal. In the wake of Andrea Agnelli’s departure, John Elkann, who traditionally remains at a distance from day-to-day football operations, took a more active role in the club’s restructuring. Elkann placed significant trust in Cristiano Giuntoli by appointing him to oversee football matters and lead the club’s rebuilding efforts. Giuntoli arrived with strong credentials and was given the authority to make key strategic decisions, including selecting a new head coach following the dismissal of Max Allegri. Giuntoli’s first major decision came with the appointment of Thiago Motta, who was brought in to guide the team at the beginning of the current season. ............ Since Giuntoli’s arrival, Juventus have gone through three different managers, with the last two being directly chosen by him. ............ Juventus may consider another major overhaul in the summer if the team fails to secure qualification for the next edition of the Champions League. The consequences of such a failure would likely go beyond just the playing staff and coaching team. The report suggests that Giuntoli and other board members could also be at risk of being replaced as part of a wider restructuring effort. Elkann is determined to return Juventus to the top of Italian football and appears ready to make difficult decisions if current strategies continue to fall short. ............ .
