Juventus will host Lazio in a Coppa Italia quarter-final fixture at Allianz Stadium on Thursday night. Both sides were involved in Serie A action on Sunday, with the hosts losing 2-0 to Monza, while Lazio played out a 1-1 draw against Fiorentina. On and off-the-field struggles have resulted in the Bianconeri being pushed down to the 13th spot in the Italian top flight standings, with just 23 points to their name from 20 games, while the visitors are occupying third position, having collected 38 points. Having suffered a 10 point penalty and also won just one of their last four matches, Juve are almost out of the race for the Scudetto title, therefore targeting the Coppa Italia trophy would be a more realistic option for Massimiliano Allegri’s side. Â

Juventus are now 14 points adrift of the top-six. Meanwhile, to add salt to their wounds, Serie A-debutante Monza defeated Juventus in Turin thanks to two unanswered first-half strikes by Patrick Ciurria and Danu Mota. Prior to that, Allegri’s side shared the spoils against Atalanta at the end of a six-goal thriller. Meanwhile, the 14-time Coppa Italia winners defeated Monza 2-1 in the first round of the competition this season, courtesy of Moise Kean’s opener and Federico Chiesa’s late winner. Also set to enter the Europa League knockout stages with a tie against Nantes, Juve’s only hope of salvaging some pride from a disastrous season could therefore come in the cups.Â
Lazio, on the other hand, are in good form, having not tasted defeat in their last six outings across all competition, since returning from World Cup break. The White and Sky Blues’ three-game winning run across all competitions came to an end at home against Fiorentina on Sunday, despite taking the lead through Nicolo Casale, inside the opening eight minutes. Despite sharing the spoils against Viola, Maurizio Sarri’s side would be high on confidence, as they defeated reigning Serie A champions AC Milan 4-0 last week. Prior to that, the Eagles edged past Bologna 1-0 in the last-16 stage of the Coppa Italia. Â
