SS Lazio - Juventus 

FC Stadio Olimpico, Rome, Italy

On Saturday, May 10, 2025, Lazio Rome will face Juventus Turin in the 36th round of Italian Serie A. The clash between two traditional rivals promises an interesting confrontation between teams that are currently level on points.

Juventus are the team with the most wins against Lazio in Serie A history: 87 victories compared to 36 triumphs for the Biancocelesti (38 draws). Overall, the only side defeated more times by a single opponent in the top flight are Inter (88 times by Juventus).

However, Lazio have won two Serie A home games in a row against Juventus for the first time since 2001 and could win three successive home matches against the Bianconeri for the first time since May 1956. For the Roman side, this is an opportunity to achieve a historic record.

Lazio have never repeated the same result across their last 10 Serie A games (4 wins, 5 draws, 1 loss). In the top flight this season already once, between November and February, the Biancocelesti went 11 games without repeating the same result twice in a row (5 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses).

Lazio's home form, however, is specific. The Roman side has drawn their last five Serie A home games. The last time the Biancocelesti drew six meetings in a row on their own patch in the competition was back in 1991.

For the first time in Serie A history, at matchday 36, there are three teams with the same number of points and with at least 60 points (Juventus, Roma, and Lazio). In particular, Lazio and Juventus will meet on equal points in both seasonal games for the first time in the top flight.

Igor Tudor, who has been Lazio manager for nine Serie A games at the end of the 2023/24 season, has only picked up two points in his first three league away matches against Juventus. The last Bianconeri coach to have failed to win in his first four Serie A meetings on the road was Cestmir Vycpalek in 1971.

Juventus have conceded 94% of their goals (30/32) from inside the box in the current Serie A season, with no other side suffering more by percentage (also 94% Roma).

Despite only being 10th for high turnovers (208), Lazio rank second for shot-ending high turnovers in Serie A this season with 46, behind only Lecce (47).

Boulaye Dia scored last time out whilst Lazio have won 11 points thanks to his nine goals in Serie A this season - the most among players who have netted fewer than 10 goals this season.

Khéphren Thuram has scored four goals and provided five assists in Serie A this season, both his best tally between Italian top flight and Ligue 1 (four goals also in 2021/22 for Nice). Should he find the net against Lazio, he could become the first Juventus midfielder with at least five goals and five assists since Miralem Pjanic in 2017/18 (5 goals, 8 assists).
