The 2024-25 Serie A season continues with a high-stakes showdown this weekend as Lazio take on Juventus at the iconic Stadio Olimpico on Saturday. With both teams eyeing a top-four finish, this match could prove pivotal in shaping the season for both clubs.
Current Form and Standings
Juventus, currently sitting in 4th place in the Serie A table, have enjoyed a solid campaign so far. Despite a slight stumble in their previous outing—a 1-1 draw against Bologna—the Bianconeri remain one of the most consistent teams in the league. Their disciplined defense and explosive attack make them formidable contenders.
Lazio, on the other hand, find themselves in 6th place, battling for European qualification. The team has shown flashes of brilliance but struggled with consistency throughout the season. A narrow 1-0 victory over Empoli last week will give them a boost of confidence heading into this crucial home fixture.
