Lazio Lineup Should Include One Change
Lazio’s starting XI shouldn’t feature any major surprises, as Gennaro Gattuso will likely confirm the same lineup that beat Monza last weekend, with only Josip Sutalo replacing Danilho Doekhi at the back. On the contrary, Spalletti’s selections remain shrouded in mystery, especially after a midweek trip to Spain.
Juventus vs Lazio | Where to Watch, Insights, Lineups & Prediction
How Will Juventus Line Up Against Lazio
According to Sky Sport Italia, Juventus will maintain their 3-4-2-1 system, with Guglielmo Vicario in goal. Pierre Kalulu, Gleison Bremer, and Jhon Lucumi remain the obvious options at the back, with Weston McKennie and Zeki Celik occupying the wing-back roles. Douglas Luiz should link up with Pape Matar Sarr in the double pivot.
Will Nick Woltemade Start for Juventus Against Lazio
In attack, Randal Kolo Muani is guaranteed a starting role, while Sky expects Nico Gonzalez and Nick Woltemade to start behind him. The German has scored twice in the Europa League this season, including the equaliser in Thursday’s come-from-behind victory over Celta Vigo, but he has yet to open his account in Serie A.
Chico Conceicao & Zhegrova Also in The Running
Interestingly, La Gazzetta dello Sport tips Woltemade to start on the bench. The pink newspaper instead reports a run-off between Francisco Conceicao (55%) and Edon Zhegrova (45%) for the other supporting role alongside Gonzalez. The Portuguese is considered the favourite despite a negative reaction after being substituted in midweek.

On the other hand, Zhegrova is the fresher option, having stayed in Turin. The Kosovar winger was omitted from Juve’s Europa League squad, so he’s only eligible for domestic competition.
Juventus Probable XI (3-4-2-1): Vicario; Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumi; McKennie, Sarr, Luiz, Celik; Gonzalez, Woltemade (Conceicao/Zhegrova); Kolo Muani.
Lazio Probable XI (4-3-3): Mandas; Floriani Mussolini, Sutalo, Provstgaard, Tavares; Frattesi, Belahyane, Frattesi; Isaksen, Noslin, Zaccagni.
