Lazio hosts Juventus in Italian Serie A’s top Week 2 fixture.

Lazio is coming off of a disappointing 2015-16 campaign in which it finished eighth in the Italian Serie A, but an opening week 4-3 away win over Atalanta has given the side optimism for the current season. Italian international Federico Marchetti will start in net for the Eagles, with Dusan Basta, Stefan de Vrij, Wesley Hoedt, and Jordan Lukaku in defense. In midfield, Marco Parolo and Lucas Biglia will start alongside youngster Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, with Cristiano Lombardi, Ricardo Kishna, and Ciro Immobile in attack. Juventus will line up with its usual defensive unit of goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, center backs Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci, and Giorgio Chiellini, and Brazilian wing backs Dani Alves and Alex Sandro. Sami Khedira, Mario Lemina, and Kwadwo Asamoah should all retain their spots in midfield, with Paulo Dybala at forward alongside his compatriot Gonzalo Higuain, who should slot in for Mario Mandzukic. Juventus is an incredibly compact defensive team, and under 2.5 goals should be scored. The Old Lady will have no problem finding the net and will leave Rome with a 2-0 victory.
