Lazio
Stefano Pioli is experimenting with a 4-4-2 formation that would enable him to field two strikers.
Filip Djordjevic is expected to miss out, with Miroslav Klose and Alessandro Matri likely to start.
Santiago Gentiletti has served his suspension and will be back in defence.
Juventus
Paul Pogba, Roberto Pereyra, Hernanes and Sami Khedira will all be unavailable for the trip to Rome.
Massimiliano Allegri is therefore left with some selection problems in midfield, which could result in some changes in his XI.
Alvaro Morata and Juan Cuadrado are once again expected to be benched at the start.
Prediction
- Lazio have obtained just a single point from their last five games, and while they seem unable to improve on the road, they have also started dropping points at home.
- Juventus have momentum on their side as they move closer to the top, but they will miss most of their starting midfielders here, a situation that gave them problems at the beginning of the season. They will be slight favourites, but Lazio will try to exploit the visitors’ injury woes.
