Juventus maintains a commanding lead as they visit Lazio for their Coppa Italia semi-final second leg. While Lazio has performed decently at home recently, Juventus has been adept at securing draws, suggesting they might aim for another stalemate on Tuesday.
Lazio aims to overturn a 2-0 deficit after their defeat in the first leg at the Allianz Stadium. They fell short of their best performance in that match and failed to produce a single shot on target throughout the encounter.
The good news for Lazio is their recent resurgence, winning their last two matches. They defeated Salernitana 4-1 and narrowly won against Genoa 1-0 in a Serie A fixture last Saturday. The victory over Salernitana marked their second consecutive home win, following their 1-0 triumph over Juventus in their prior encounter. However, before these two wins, Igor Tudor’s men suffered three consecutive defeats at the Stadio Olimpico.
Juventus dominated the first leg, earning a two-goal advantage with goals from Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic. Notably, their defense shone, preventing Lazio from registering any shots on target.
Manager Massimiliano Allegri should be satisfied with his team’s recent form, as Juventus remains unbeaten in their last four matches. However, they have drawn their last few fixtures, including a 2-2 result against Cagliari last weekend.
The draw at Cagliari is the latest in a series of away draws for Juventus, who have been held three times in their last five away matches. Moreover, they have kept just one clean sheet in their last six matches on the road.
