The Rome-based club are currently of the most in-form teams in the Serie A, as they come into this tie on a run of six league games without defeat. Furthermore, each of those results came without Lazio conceding a goal, helping them to the number one spot as the club with the best defence in the Italian top flight this season. Read more: Nice vs PSG: Preview and Expert Football Prediction It\u2019s been a remarkable turnaround for Lazio, who ended last season with the second-worst defensive record in the top half. At the same time, Maurizio Sarri\u2018s men now boast the division\u2018s best defensive record, with only 19 goals conceded. Back-to-back Serie A wins \u2018to nil\u2019 have seen them strengthen their grip on second place as they start this round with a four-point cushion over the chasing pack. Carrying such form, it seems like a great time to face a Juventus side they\u2019ve beaten just once here across the last eleven H2Hs (D2, L8).&nbsp; Given six of Lazio\u2019s eight Serie A home wins this term came without conceding, another solid defensive display should be expected here, but considering the last time Lazio beat Juventus without conceding was back in 2004, that certainly isn\u2019t a foregone conclusion. Despite being slapped with a 15-point deduction, Juventus are gradually pulling themselves back into the top-four race with solid results in the league. The Old Lady come into this tie on a run of three straight Serie A wins, taking them to seventh position, only six points behind the Champions League spots. So they would interestingly be four points clear of Lazio in second if not for the ban, and coach Massimiliano Allegri will be eager to confirm his side\u2019s theoretical \u2018second-place\u2019 status that results have merited with an eye-catching result here.&nbsp; However, something will have to change for them to achieve that, as the visitors have lost three of their four Serie A away matches against current top-six sides (W1) this season. Meanwhile, Juve has won the first half \u2018to nil\u2018 in four straight H2Hs and will be backed to produce a low-scoring encounter. That said, an under 2.5 goals bet is the best prediction for this game.&nbsp;"}
