Igor Tudor is ready for his first match at the helm of Lazio, hosting a wounded Juventus in their Saturday evening clash.
The match between the Biancocelesti and the Bianconeri kicks off at 18.00 local time at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
Lazio cannot count on the injured Ivan Provedel and Nicolo Rovella, and Manuel Lazzari is also in doubt due to a muscle issue. Luca Pellegrini is unavailable due to a yellow-card suspension.
Juventus are without Arkadiusz Milik and Carlos Alcaraz, both sidelined with injuries. Dusan Vlahovic is out following his red card against Genoa, whilst Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli are still out with long-term suspensions.
When these two teams met back in September, Juventus cruised to a 3-1 win over Lazio in Turin after strikes from Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa, with Luis Alberto netting the Biancocelesti’s consolation goal.
The match will be Tudor’s first in charge of Lazio following his arrival earlier this month, and he’s expected to shake things up with a 3-4-2-1 formation.
Probable line-ups for Lazio vs Juventus
Lazio (3-4-2-1): Mandas; Gila, Romagnoli, Casale; Felipe Anderson, Guendouzi, Cataldi, Marusic; Luis Alberto, Zaccagni; Immobile.
Juventus (3-5-2): Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Chiesa, Kean.
