“We have to win all the remaining games, but clearly the one with the Bianconeri is going to be decisive.”
Lazio have problems for this fixture, as Stefano Mauri's two-match ban was confirmed on appeal, while Giuseppe Sculli is injured.
“It's a shame, as losing Sculli complicates my tactical plans. This time I'll be forced into making certain decisions,” noted Reja.
“Facing Juventus always gives great motivation and I hope to see the best Lazio. We must give 110 per cent and cannot afford any mistakes.
“I'm happy to see this enthusiasm in the fans and that can be decisive too. We hope to give them this dream of the Champions League.”
