Juventus vs Lazio prediction 08.02.2026 | Serie A

Juventus come into this match with solid league form overall. In Serie A, they sit comfortably in the top four with a 13-6-4 record through 23 games. They have enjoyed a particularly productive spell in recent weeks: Luciano Spalletti’s men have recorded seven wins from a possible ten since the start of December, a run that has been sufficient - at least for now - to keep them firmly in the Champions League places. Juventus’ home form has been especially impressive, as they remain unbeaten in league action at the Allianz Stadium, registering four wins in their last five home fixtures.

Injury news, however, complicates Juventus’ selection. Key forward Dušan Vlahović remains sidelined long-term following muscle surgery and is not expected to return until at least mid-March. More immediately, Kenan Yıldız is a doubt after sustaining an adductor strain and may miss this fixture if he fails to recover in time. Arsenal target Jonathan David continues to be deployed as the focal point of the attack and is a likely starter should Yıldız be unavailable.

Lazio’s 2025/26 campaign has been inconsistent but remains competitive. They are still in contention for European qualification, although the task appears increasingly difficult given their inability to string together consecutive league wins in recent months. Since the start of the 2025 Christmas period, Lazio have managed just two wins from a possible eight matches, underlining a lack of cutting edge in tight contests. While they have drawn four times and lost only twice during that stretch, their struggles to convert draws into victories - even against evidently weaker opposition - have stalled their momentum.

Lazio’s difficulties are particularly evident on the road. They have failed to score in five of their last eight Serie A away matches, a trend that may further bolster Juventus’ defensive confidence.

Injuries have further weakened Lazio’s squad depth, especially in defensive and wide areas. Mattia Zaccagni is ruled out until early March with a stomach strain, while defenders Patric and Samuel Gigot are also unavailable. These absences could force Maurizio Sarri into a defensive reshuffle, with Cristian Romagnoli’s fitness still being carefully managed and concerns lingering over centre-back depth.
