Juventus are poised to book their place in the final of the 2023-24 Coppa Italia as they host Lazio in the second leg of their semifinal tie on Tuesday. The Bianconeri hold a comfortable 2-0 advantage from the first leg played in Turin, putting them in a strong position to progress.
Lazio, on the other hand, face an uphill battle to overturn the deficit. They will be without three key players due to injury, including Matteo Guendouzi and Mattia Zaccagni. Goalkeeper Ivan Provedel is also ruled out, leaving the visitors with a weakened squad.
Juventus are expected to field a strong team for the match, with Mattia Perin set to start in goal. Fabio Miretti and Moise Kean are unavailable due to injuries, but Weston McKennie is likely to feature in central midfield.
The Bianconeri are confident of maintaining their lead and securing a spot in the final. They have a strong home record in the Coppa Italia, having won their last five matches at the Allianz Stadium in the competition.
Lazio, meanwhile, will need to produce a Herculean effort to overcome the odds and reach the final. They will need to score at least twice and keep a clean sheet to force extra time or a penalty shootout.
The match promises to be an exciting and closely contested affair, with both teams eager to secure a place in the final. Juventus will be aiming to continue their dominance in the Coppa Italia, while Lazio will be determined to cause an upset and reach their first final since 2019.
