Bianconeri looking to stay top of Serie A as they host Champions League hopefuls
Juventus Arena — Torino
Team News
Juventus
Conte is likely to go back to his 4-3-3, with Lichtsteiner and De Ceglie
as full backs. Caceres and Bonucci should be on the bench. Vucinic and Pepe will support Matri up front, but Del Piero is waiting for another chance from kick-off. The midfield trio of Vidal-Pirlo-Marchisio are pretty sure to play.
probable lineups : Buffon, Chielllini. Bonucci, Barzagli, Ceglie, Marchisio, Pirlo, Vidal, Cáceres, Matri, Vucinic. (3-5-2).
Lazio
After a poor performance against Napoli, Hernanes may be on the bench, with Mauri in his position and Candreva on the left side. Konko and Radu are going to patrol the flanks of the defence. Klose is stil unavailable, so Rocchi and Kozak will be in competition once again to take his spot.
probable lineups : Marchetti, Konko, Biava, Diakité, Radu, Ledesma, Brocchi, González, Mauri, Candreva, Rocchi. (4-2-3-1).

Prediction
Juventus are in very good form and the club now has a chance of winning
both Serie A and the Coppa Italia. Enthusiasm is high and Conte has all
of his players available.
Lazio managed to achieve some unexpected results this year, especially
when under pressure and with a lot of players missing. The win over
Napoli was the boost coach Reja was hoping for going into the the
run-in, and his team may go to Turin in hope of picking up a point.
Expect Juventus to take the initiative and keep their usual high tempo.
In recent matches, Conte chose a very dynamic team for the first half in
order to drain energy from the opponent and strike in the second half.
Lazio must be patient and not rush things, or Conte's side will take
home all 3 points like they have done against Inter, Napoli and Palermo.
Juventus 2 - 1 Lazio
