Juventus and Lazio will continue their long-lasting rivalry in the Coppa Italia quarterfinals at the Allianz Arena in Turin tomorrow night. The winner of this game will just be 90 minutes away from the Coppa Italia’s final four.
The Biancocelesti are a seven-time Coppa Italia winner. They won the competition in 2019 when they face Atalanta and coach Maurizio Sarri is aiming for a win over his former team.
Juventus have been deducted fifteen points due to financial crisis and player valuation problems.
Allegri is hoping his team can overcome the issues off the field and produce 3 points on the pitch. Juventus are coming from the shock of 2-0 defeat to Monza at the weekend.
Thursday’s Coppa Italia game will be the 2nd game between Juventus and Lazio in all competitions this season. In November, Juventus record a 3-0 win over Lazio thanks to two Moise Kean goals and Arkadiusz Milik added the last goal.
The Bianconeri have been unbeaten in six straight matches against Lazio in all competitions. 4 of the 6 games ended as wins for the Turin team.
Lazio’s last 5 visits to the Allianz Arena have ended without victories against Juventus.
Juventus loaned United States international midfielder Weston McKennie to Leeds United with a permanent sale likely to happen in the summer.
McKennie was sold for €33 million plus add-ons, as Juventus attempted to bring in some of the money Premier League clubs were happy to share.
Allegri will be without their forward Juan Cuadrado due to physical discomfort. Forward Federico Chiesa is also suffering from physical discomfort and could miss this game.
Defender Leonardo Bonucci might return from a fitness problem. Forward Kaio Jorge has a tendon injury and may miss the fixture. Of the players Allegri has available, he will pick the strongest starting XI possible.
Sarri up till now has no fresh injury problems at Lazio ahead of the Coppa Italia match. Ciro Immobile, Felipe Anderson, and Mattia Zaccagni lead the team in goals this season, with eight apiece in all competitions.
Juventus are struggling following the 15-point Serie A deduction due to the current investigations going on around the team.
Despite the crisis the Bianconeri are experiencing, Allegri is expected to bring the squad together and win the Coppa Italia quarterfinal on Tomorrow.
