Amid signs of terminal drift towards the end of another trying season – one which is set to end trophyless for the first time in over a decade – Juventus have now lost successive matches, after defeat in a special Derby d’Italia edition of the Coppa Italia final. Under Allegri, Juventus have won 10 of 11 meetings with the Roman side in Serie A; also scoring at an average of 2.4 goals per game in the clubs’ last eight encounters at the Allianz Stadium and picking up seven wins in the process.
Though they showed great character to fight back from a goal down to lead heading into the final 10 minutes of the initial 90, Juve were ultimately vanquished by Ivan Perisic’s extra-time brace, which helped arch-rivals Inter over the line after Hakan Calhanoglu had slotted home an 80th-minute penalty. Following February’s dramatic Supercoppa Italiana defeat to the same opponents, who last season deposed them as Scudetto holders after nine years of domestic dominance, the Bianconeri have missed out entirely on silverware and also seem set to finish fourth in Serie A.

Having taken just a point from their previous two matches, successive wins against Serie A strugglers Spezia and Sampdoria have boosted Lazio’s hopes of securing Europa League qualification, as an inconsistent campaign nears its conclusion. Therefore three points clear of city rivals Roma in the table with two games left to go, the Biancocelesti were also closely trailed by both Atalanta and Fiorentina before the penultimate round – meaning they can ill afford any errors in the coming week.
Though recent precedent suggests they will be up against it to take maximum points from their final away game, the Aquile come up against Sarri’s former club having won five of their last seven away games in the top flight, including both of their two most recent road trips. An all-too-brief spell in charge at Juve ended in some acrimony for the ex-Chelsea coach, and he has lost six of his previous nine league games against them, so Lazio’s idiosyncratic manager would dearly love to get the better of his old team on Monday night.

Should they lose to Lazio, this will be just the second Serie A season in which Juventus have taken fewer points on home soil than when playing away, which demonstrates their faded aura of invincibility in Turin.
The visitors – second-top scorers in Serie A this term – should have little fear of failure, given the state they find their opponents in, but are too defensively flaky to guarantee any more than a point. Juventus are fourth in the league. It has been a season of disappointments for the Italian giants, and manager Massimiliano Allegri has his work cut out for the summer. With the likes of Giorgio Chiellini, Alvaro Morata and Paulo Dybala all likely to leave the club, Juventus will have to do some restructuring and be active in the transfer market.
Juventus 1-1 Lazio, predicted by us.
