Igor Tudor’s Lazio are ready to put it all on the line in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final clash with a Juventus side desperate for an on-pitch response.
The match between the Bianconeri and the Biancocelesti kicks off at 21.00 local time at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.
When these two teams met back in September, Juventus cruised to a 3-1 win over Lazio, but the Biancocelesti responded in their recent clash with a 1-0 win at home to the Old Lady.

Injuries & Suspensions
Juventus still cannot count on Arkadiusz Milik, who is struggling with an adductor muscle injury, and Carlos Alcaraz is also unlikely to feature as he recovers from a muscle issue. Alex Sandro is also unlikely to take part, having just returned to squad training.
The only suspensions for the Bianconeri are long-term absentees Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli.
Probable Lineup
Massimiliano Allegri is not expected to take any major risks with his lineup, relying on usual first teamers like Federico Chiesa, Dusan Vlahovic, Adrien Rabiot, Manuel Locatelli, Weston McKennie, Gleison Bremer and Wojciech Szczesny.
- Juventus (3-5-2): Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Vlahovic, Chiesa.
