Juventus, having made a strong start in Serie A, are set to face Lazio in Turin following the international break. They remain undefeated after three matches, a feat not replicated by Lazio who suffered two initial losses before defeating the reigning champions. While Juventus are yet to secure a home win this season, they've already earned six points from two away games, culminating in a 2-0 victory against Empoli just before the international break.
Under Max Allegri's management, Juventus has maintained a sturdy defense, conceding only one goal this season. Reflecting Allegri's pragmatic approach, they aim to secure another clean sheet this week, which would mark three out of their first four games, a pattern maintained from the previous year. This strategy relies on the fitness and effectiveness of key players like Chiesa and Vlahovic in the attack.
Although Chiesa, who has been prone to injuries, withdrew from Italy's national team last week, he aspires to return in time for the clash with Lazio. Historically, Juventus has a strong track record against Lazio, winning nine out of twelve encounters since moving to the Allianz Stadium in 2011. Despite a recent loss to Lazio, Juventus had secured four wins and two draws in their previous six matches, indicating an advantage for them this weekend.
However, recent controversy has emerged in Turin with Paul Pogba facing doping charges, adding a layer of complexity for Allegri to navigate. Despite this, Juventus has managed a respectable start to their "comeback campaign" after a period of relative struggle.
On the other hand, Lazio, last season's Serie A runners-up, began this campaign with two defeats but rebounded with an impressive 2-1 victory against Napoli. This comeback was marked by Luis Alberto's goal, making him only the second midfielder to achieve a goal and an assist in eight consecutive Serie A seasons. Summer signing Daichi Kamada's goal further solidified their win.
Lazio's recent record on the road has been impressive, keeping seven clean sheets in their last nine away matches in the previous season. However, they have conceded goals in both of their initial matches this season, a vulnerability that could be costly against Juventus, known for their defensive strength.
In summary, Juventus welcomes Lazio at the Allianz Stadium in a Serie A clash after the international break. Juventus has begun the season well with two wins out of three, while Lazio secured their first win against Napoli. The historical rivalry between the two teams adds an extra layer of intrigue to the match. Juventus has a stronger record at home, but Lazio's recent away performance suggests they won't be an easy opponent. The clash promises to be a significant event in the early stages of the Serie A season.
