Lazio vs Juventus
Two giants of the Italian game meet in Rome on Sunday to contest the Supercoppa, in a clash which may give some clues for the coming Serie A season.
The big question is: ‘How will the Old Lady cope without her defensive rock?’ Betting tips say Juventus will add another title to their six consecutive wins, but Leonardo Bonucci’s surprise move to Milan has raised eyebrows.
In the competitive football games between these two since 2016, Juve have won all five; the last one was a 2-0 victory in May, scoring nine goals without reply. And with betting odds of 1.86 for Juventus to win on Sunday, it seems there is confidence they can cope without Bonucci, particularly as Lazio boast one of last season’s most potent strikers in Ciro Immobile. Coach Simone Inzaghi has been busy in the market, adding striker Felipe Caicedo from Espanyol and Oostende’s Adam Marusic for additional firepower. At 4.10 for a win, Lazio could be a decent value.
The Romans need to put their poor record against Juve behind them, but, roared on by their passionate fans, they will have a real go at the Champions’ defence to try and win their fourth Supercoppa.
Max Allegri has bought Milan’s Mattia de Sciglio and Cagliari’s Dario del Fabro to bolster his defence, but it is up front where his big signing of the summer landed.
With Gonzalo Higuain and Paulo Dybala already at the club, Federico Bernardeschi has arrived from Fiorentina to bring more attacking flair.
So even if you can breach the Juve defence, you’ll still need to score a few this season!
