Juventus v Lazio preview

The Italian Serie A will witness a big game this weekend. The reigning Italian champions, Juventus, will welcome SS Lazio in Saturday's match. The visitors are currently placed fifth on the league table with 22 points from 12 matches, while Juventus are on top of the table with 31 points from the same number of games. The league leaders surrendered their unbeaten run against Internazionale about two weeks ago.

Andrea Pirlo has been suspended for this match and the 'Old Ladies' will definitely miss his services. Paul Pogba might fill the gap left by the Italian maestro. Th former Manchester United player missed two training sessions ahead of last weekend's match. Fabio Quagliarella scored a hat trick in last week's 6-1 demolition of Pescara. Simeone Pepe is expected to be on the bench for the host. He sustained an injury shortly before the commencement of the season,but he has since recovered and he might play a role in this match.

Senad Lulic and Stefano Mauri will miss this game due to suspension while Ederson is injured. Lazio enjoyed a famous 3-2 win over bitter rivals, AS Roma in last weekend's clash.
