Juventus have struggled in front of goal and have only scored one goal per match in their last six matches.
Lazio have a superb home record this season and will fancy their chances against a Juventus team that is struggling to score goals. Since Lazio have a tremendous home record and Juventus have only lost twice in 13 matches therefore we backing the home team on the win or draw. There will be under 2.5 goals scored.
