Juventus vs Lazio: Bianconeri Aim to End the Eagles’ Unbeaten Run

A blockbuster clash awaits in Serie A’s seventh round of the 2026/27 season as Juventus prepare to host an unbeaten Lazio side.

Juventus will welcome the capital club to the Allianz Stadium in Turin on Monday (October 19) in the early hours of WIB. The encounter between the two sides is expected to be a fiercely contested affair.

The visitors head into the match in impressive form. Gennaro Gattuso’s men remain unbeaten in their last five matches, recording four wins and one draw. Their strong run has lifted Lazio to third place in the provisional standings with 16 points.

Meanwhile, Juventus are still searching for consistency. The Bianconeri have managed just three wins from their six matches so far, leaving them eighth in the table with 11 points.

However, Lazio should not underestimate their hosts, particularly given their poor record against Juventus. The Bianconeri are unbeaten in their last nine meetings with I Biancocelesti, winning seven of those encounters.

This will also be the fifth meeting between Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti and Gennaro Gattuso. Spalletti has won twice, while Gattuso has claimed just one victory.

Juventus will be without several key players due to injuries, including Kenan Yildiz, Khephren Thuram, Jeff Ekhator, Manuel Locatelli, Kamil Grabara, and Augusto Owusu.

Lazio, meanwhile, are expected to have their strongest available squad. However, several players, including Albert Gudmundsson, Nicolo Rovella, Przyborek, Matteo Cancellieri, and Adam Marusic, are not at full fitness.
