Juventus v Lazio Tuesday at 21.00 CET

Coppa Italia semi-final action as Juventus play Lazio in 1st of 2 legs. These two sides met on Saturday in the league as new Lazio manager Igor Tudor got a vital win on debut. League position shows Juventus in 3rd with 59 points. They sit 13 points ahead of Lazio. Recent form is not good for Juventus with just 1 win in 8 games, with three draws and 4 defeats in that time. Lazio last 8 games has seen 3 wins and 5 defeats so they themselves are not in great form either.

Team news: Key striker Dusan Vlahovic returns from suspension. They have doubts over Milik, Alex Sandro and Alcaraz. Lazio have Pellegrini available after suspension.

Recent Head-to-head statistics: 20 games – 12 wins Juventus, 2 draws and 6 wins Lazio.

Betting selection – Two-legged cup ties always make the first game very difficult to predict. Two sides out of form. I think Juventus will be keen for the win while Lazio will look to stifle the home side and be more conservative. Hoping to win the tie back in Rome. I take Juventus win at 4-5 or 1.80 10bet.
