Match of the week in Serie A this Saturday, as Juventus plays Lazio.
Juventus comes into this Serie A match thinking about the game vs Monaco. They surely can not be 100% focused on this game, with so many points ahead of 2nd place. Juventus was lucky to have such a big lead coming into the final months of the season, because now they have problems, CL distraction, Pogba injured, Tevez announcing he wants to go back to Argentina to play for Boca, Pirlo’s frequent small injuries, Vidal still out of form… But even so, with problems in the lineup, Juventus does well in the CL; and for the moment it’s all that matters. I don’t expect Juve to be at 100% for this game, because of the reasons i mentioned above.

Lazio come into this match after a series of 5 consecutive wins, most recent 4-0 with Empoli. It must be said that Lazio virtually secured their podium finish, but they still want to finish in front of Roma, because 2nd spot allows them to go directly to UCL, whereas 3rd spot takes them to UCL qualifying, where they might meet teams like Valencia/Sevilla, Arsenal/Man City etc … so it is a big difference.
Lazio have some injuries and missing players, like Radu, de Vrij, Parolo, Konko and long term injured Djordjevic. Their starting lineup is a little banged up. But i feel Lazio have enough in them to get a draw. I see a 1-1, with Lazio opening the score; maybe Felipe Anderson, who scored 4 goals in the last 5 rounds, and is Lazio’s top scorer with 10 goals and 6 assists (joint with Klose). A lot of players have delivered the goods offensively, and that’s why Lazio is so high in the table. Anderson and Klose 10 goals, Mauri 9 goals, Parolo, Candreva and Djordjevic 7 goals.
Lazio +0.5 handicap will be my Italian Saturday prediction. Good Luck!
