Juventus have bad recent memories from the Stadio Olimpico as they were knocked out of the Italian Cup by Roma earlier this week. It was just their second loss of the season in Italy as they return to the capital to face Lazio on Saturday. Tuesday's cup result ended the Bianconeri's 13-match unbeaten streak in Italy but they welcome the opportunity to bounce back on the same pitch. They are unbeaten in 12 Serie A games and hold a eight-point advantage over Roma at the top of the table.
Reigning champions Juventus have dropped just five points in 20 Serie A matches this season: a draw at Inter and a defeat at Fiorentina. The league leaders have a great record against Lazio, they haven't lost against the capital club since December 2003 and won their last four meetings at the Olimpico without conceding.
But Lazio are looking good under new coach Edy Reja, who replaced Vladimir Petkovic on January 4. The new boss led the team to three wins and a draw, beating Inter and Udinese in the process. Juventus have beaten Lazio twice this season, 4-0 in the Italian Super Cup in August and then 4-1 in the Serie A a couple of weeks later.
Here are the odds at Bet365 for Saturday's derby match:
Lazio win - 15/4
Draw - 13/5
Juventus win - 8/11
