The match between Lazio and Juventus takes on a European flavour as both sides look to pick up some vital points in the race for a top four finish.

The match between the Biancocelesti and the Bianconeri kicks off at 19.45 UK time at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio currently sit second in the league table, owing to their resilient defence this season, and they can take a definitive step forward in the race for Champions League qualification with a good result against the Old Lady.

The draws suffered by Inter and Milan in yesterday’s round of games will have been noticed, making the three points available tonight in Rome even more appealing.

Juventus have climbed up the table quickly since being handed a 15-point deduction and still have the chance to finish in the top four regardless. The team are hoping for this penalty to be overturned in their appeal later this month, something that would have a huge effect on the Champions League race.

Lazio have a fully fit squad heading into the match, whilst Juventus are without the injured Mattia De Sciglio and suspended Moise Kean.
