Juventus Faces Lazio Amidst Struggles in Serie A Showdown
Rome, Italy – Juventus is looking to turn things around as they face Lazio in a Serie A clash this Sunday. The match will take place at the Stadio Olimpico at 8:45 p.m. local time (CET).
Currently, Juventus is in a rough patch, winless in their last seven matches. Their last victory came against Inter Milan on September 13. Most recently, they suffered a shocking 2-0 loss to Como in their last league game, prompting pressure on coach Igor Tudor.
With fans and management restless due to the team’s performance, Tudor is contemplating a shift to a 4-3-3 formation. This new setup may feature players Francisco Conceicao, Jonathan David, and Kenan Yildiz, aiming to revitalize the attack. However, Juventus will again be without first-choice centre-back Gleison Bremer, who is sidelined with an injury.
Lazio, sitting in 12th place, is also struggling to find consistency. They recently drew 3-3 with Torino before shutting out Atalanta 0-0. However, they had a solid 3-0 victory against Genoa earlier this month. The potential return of key attacker Mattia Zaccagni could provide a significant boost for Lazio.
Manager Maurizio Sarri may have to rely heavily on home support as several players, including Taty Castellanos and Nicolo Rovella, are injured. The team will look to forward Boulaye Dia for fresh attacking options.
In terms of how to watch the match, it won’t be broadcast on traditional TV in the U.S., but fans can live stream it via platforms like Fox One and CBS Sports Golazo. Paramount+ also offers a free trial for new subscribers.
The stakes are high as both teams look to break their difficult streaks. Lazio has been unbeaten at the Olimpico in their last four meetings with Juventus, which includes three wins.
As the tension builds, Juventus hopes to find their form and secure a vital win against a determined Lazio side.
