The new season of the Serie A keeps going with the 8th matchday. Napoli climbed to the top and has been trying to make some room for the 2nd placed Inter.
Right behind the Nerazurri, we find Juventus and Lazio, our protagonists for the next clash at the Juventus Stadium.
The Bianconeri are the only unbeaten team in Serie A, with three wins and four draws. However, the team has raised some concerns due to their inability to seal games and score goals at crucial moments.
Il Aquile is placed 4th, with four wins, a draw, and two losses. Still, their defense is quite faulty, as they have scored 14 times but taken 11.

Why bet on Juventus?
The Bianconeri have not been serious challengers for the Serie A title for a while now. However, the Turin outfit has lofty ambitions this season and will be keen on clinching the Scudetto this campaign, especially as Inter doesn’t seem like a steamroller anymore.
Under head coach Thiago Motta, Juventus has redefined its approach to games, changing the battling and rough style they had with Allegri for a more fluid one. The Italian has reignited the spark of some careers, most remarkably in the defensive area. Still, as said before, the offense is a matter of concern. Their ten goals in favor are the worst in the top eight, tied with Udinese.
Juve failed to turn their dominance into victory in a 1-1 draw with Cagliari, but they are still favorites to beat Lazio in front of their home fans. As summer signing Teun Koopmeiners limped off with an injury in the last league match, Nicolo Fagioli should return to the starting XI. Pacey winger Chico Conceicao is banned.
Why bet on Lazio?
Il Aquile finished a disappointing seventh place in the Serie A the previous season and will be determined to at least claim one of the UEFA Champions League places, as it has been the norm in the last few years.
The Romans have good news, and that is that Taty Castellanos is becoming more regular. Last season, he was a total disaster, scoring four goals in all competitions and zero in the Champions League. Now, just in a few games in this campaign, he already has three league goals and two in the Europa League, in addition to a couple of assists. Ciro Immobile left gigantic boots to fill, being a Serie A legend by all means, but the Argentinian is starting to show a better face now that the Italian has gone.
The Biancocelesti are on a four-game winning run in all competitions. Manuel Lazzari suffered a muscle injury in a 2-1 win over Empoli, with Adam Marusic likely to step up.
Final Betting Analysis: Juventus vs. Lazio
Since 2003, these teams have played 56 games, where the Bianconeros have been vastly superior, boasting 34 wins against just 12 by the Biancocelesti. There have been ten draws.
Their last game was for the Coppa Italia in April this year, with Lazio triumphing 2-1. However, the last time they had a duel for the league was at the Juventus Stadium, with the locals winning 2-0.
Il Aquile’s footballers are brimming with confidence ahead of the trip to Turin, but beating Juventus at the Allianz Stadium is easier said than done.
Both Juventus and Lazio are doing well at the moment. The two clubs have very strong, offensive teams, and both sides will surely get on the scoreboard. A draw is firmly on the cards, especially with the locals’ performance taken into consideration. Still, we believe that the FIFA date should help the Zebras clear their heads a recover some offensive spark. We’ll go for a 3-1.
