In the 24th round of the Italian Serie A on February 8, 2026, Juventus will host Lazio. To keep their chances of finishing in the top four alive, the home team must beat their opponent, who is having an underwhelming season.
Our prediction for Juventus vs Lazio
The top club from Turin has experienced significant instability recently. Over the past year, they have dismissed two coaches: first Thiago Motta, who failed miserably, and later Tudor—who, despite saving fourth place in the spring, could not overcome the prolonged slump in the autumn. Under Spalletti, things have generally improved. In the Champions League, the Italians advanced to the playoffs without much brilliance, which is most important. In Serie A, they are back in the fight, if not for the title, then at least for a top-four spot. Still, there have been setbacks, including a loss to Cagliari. Following victories over Napoli and Parma, they suffered a heavy defeat to Atalanta in the cup.
The Romans last season lost sixth place to Fiorentina due to tiebreakers. As a result, they are not playing in European competitions this year, but that has done little to help them now. Interestingly, after 21 Serie A matches, they had seven wins, seven draws, and seven losses. They then split points with Lecce but won a 3-2 shootout against Genoa.
McKennie and his teammates average 1.7 goals scored and 0.78 conceded per match. Their opponents from the capital score 1.04 goals per round and concede 0.91 on average.
