JUVENTUS

The Italian champions Juventus got off to a winning start on opening weekend seeing off Chievo (2-3) thanks to a last gasp winner. This Saturday they host Lazio in the first of the weekend's games looking to make it 2 wins from 2. Massimiliano Allegri's side enter this game with a form line of 4-1-0 winning the expected goals (xG) supremacy in 4/5 which is excellent. Going forward Juventus have finished with over 1.50 xG in 3/5 which is strong. At the back during this period they have conceded on average 0.73 xG which is exceptional. At home it's 4-0-1 in the last 5 Serie A games winning the xG supremacy in 4/5. La Vecchia Signora have finished with over 1.50 xG for in 3/5 which is superb. Defensively, they have averaged 0.89 xG against which is superb.



LAZIO

Lazio lost their opening game to Napoli (1-2) despite taking the lead. Having sold some key players in the summer it will be interesting to see how they get on this season. Unfortunately for them up next is Juventus away from home, the toughest test in Serie A. Simone Inzaghi’s side enter this game with a form line of 1-2-2 winning the expected goals (xG) supremacy in 2/5 which is poor. Going forward Lazio have finished with over 1.50 xG in 3/5 which is decent. At the back during this period they have conceded on average 1.57 xG which is very high for a top 6 team. Away from home it's 3-2-0 in the last 5 Serie A games winning the xG supremacy in 4/5. I Biancocelesti have finished with over 1.50 xG for in 3/5 which is superb. Defensively, they have averaged 0.98 xG against which is very good.



BETTING VERDICT

I will take Juventus -1.50 AH. I like Juventus to make it 2 wins from 2 on Saturday. Juve are sensational at home and only Napoli have prevented them winning the xG supremacy in the last 5 here. Lazio had just 1 shot on target last weekend and scored from it, they will need a lot more to keep up with Juventus. The hosts on the other hand fired in 26 attempts with 10 on target and should have won the Chievo game much easier than they did. Most of Juve's stats don't include Cristiano Ronaldo whilst Lazio's include many key players who are now gone. I expect Juventus to take the lead here and not look back eventually getting the second and killing the game off.



Good Luck
