Juventus vs Lazio Betting Tips and Predictions

Juventus have a nine-point lead at the top of Serie A and it looks like a matter of time until Massimiliano Allegri’s men secure yet another league title, with Napoli slipping up with a 2-0 defeat at Inter at the weekend. Juventus have been irresistible at home, winning 13 in a row and keeping eight clean sheets in succession on their own ground, while a 4-0 thrashing of Palermo last time out was a clear indication of their potency in front of goal. The loss of Claudio Marchisio to a serious knee injury is a blow, but Juve have enough strength in depth to cope with his absence. Two more wins would likely seal the Scudetto and they should get the first on Wednesday against a fairly mediocre Lazio outfit.

Simone Inzaghi has led Lazio to consecutive victories since the sacking of Stefano Pioli on the back of a humiliating derby day thrashing at the hands of Roma. Despite the upturn in Lazio’s form they 11 points behind Fiorentina in the race for Europa League qualification places and it seems unlikely that Lazio will finish higher than their current position in the table – seventh. Inzaghi’s challenge will be motivating his players with so little at stake, but the opportunity to derail Juve’s title bid will surely be tempting. However, Juventus have been sublime in recent weeks and should have too much for Lazio.

Juventus have won with clean sheets eight times in a row at home, yet attractive odds are on offer for this bet to come in again. Juventus Win to Nil at 13/10 with Betfair is too tempting to ignore, while Juventus to Win 2-0 at 6/1 with Betfair also leaps out from the correct score market.
