Lazio Set to Host Juventus in Crucial Cup Clash
After defeating Genoa and AS Roma in the previous rounds, WEB Lazio now turn their attention to the Coppa Italia semi-finals, where they will face a daunting task against Juventus. The two teams met just four days ago in Serie A, with Juventus emerging victorious.
Juventus, the defending Serie A champions, will be looking to extend their lead in the all-time head-to-head record, which currently stands at 29 wins to Lazio's 15. However, Lazio's impressive recent form at home gives them reason for optimism.
WEB Lazio have won their last three matches at the Stadio Olimpico, including a 3-1 victory over Juventus in the Coppa Italia semi-finals last season. Ciro Immobile, who scored a brace in that match, will be a key player for Lazio once again.
Juventus will be without key defender Leonardo Bonucci, who is suspended for the match. However, they will be boosted by the return of Angel Di Maria, who scored the winning goal against Lazio in the league encounter last week.
The match is set to be a fascinating clash between two of the best defensive teams in last season's Serie A. Lazio have conceded only once in their last three matches, while Juventus have kept a clean sheet in their last two outings.
The first leg of the semi-final will be played at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on April 2, 2024, at 8pm UK time. The second leg will be held at the Allianz Stadium in Turin on April 16, 2024.
