Juventus have made a spirited return to the Champions League with two victories, scoring six goals. This successful run in Europe goes hand-in-hand with a strong start in the league. Against Lazio, their close rivals on the table, the Turin side will look to play in their preferred style: denying their opponents chances in their own half while creating dangerous opportunities through an active midfield.
By mid-October, Juventus have reached a significant milestone as the only unbeaten team in Serie A. Over seven rounds, they have conceded just one goal, which came against Cagliari (1:1) at the very end through a penalty. The team lead the tournament by a margin in xGA (3.70), and their xG is marginally better than the league leaders Napoli (10.36 vs 10.32).
Lazio's reasonably good results have benefitted from a relatively easy fixture list in the early part of the season: prior to facing dangerous opponents, they only met AC Milan (2:2). Before their streak of four victories, Lazio were defeated away by Fiorentina (2:1), where the team allowed a hefty 2.48 xGA with 14 shots. In Turin, Lazio will be without four defenders — Manuel Lazzari, Samuel Gigot, Mattéo Guendouzi, and Patric Gabarrón.
Current Juventus give fans hope of reclaiming the Scudetto. Against Lazio, the Turin club will undoubtedly create more chances and boast a superior quality of forwards — goals are assured.
