No side has been more successful in the history of the Coppa Italia than Juventus. However, the Old Lady isn’t looking like the dominant force they once were this term, as they have dropped to the middle of the standings after being imposed with a points deduction.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side will be back in action on Thursday, as they look to reach a fourth straight Coppa Italia final this term. However, they will come up against an in-form Lazio side that is bidding for a second Coppa Italia success since 2019. You can find the latest Coppa Italia odds, and our Juventus vs Lazio picks here.

Juventus vs. Lazio Betting Preview
Old Lady Looking For Response
It has been a damaging period for Massimiliano Allegri and his Juventus side, as they are yet to win a game since the points deduction was imposed on them. They were held by Atalanta a few weeks ago, before shockingly being beaten by Monza at the Allianz Stadium over the weekend. However, a decent run in the Coppa Italia could ensure a solid end to the campaign despite a Champions League battle remaining unlikely.
The Old Lady booked their spot in the last eight of the competition on January 19, as they eased to a 2-1 win over Monza in Turin. Moise Kean netted the opener, before the tie was settled by Federico Chiesa with just 12 minutes remaining. However, making Juventus vs Lazio picks will be far more troublesome at this stage of the competition.
Paul Pogba may be fit enough to return to the starting eleven on Thursday. However, Chiesa is a doubt. Leonardo Bonucci, Juan Cuadrado, and Kaio Jorge will all be definitely missing for this Coppa Italia fixture.
Lazio Gunning For Revenge
It’s fair to say that Lazio was one of the big winners in Serie A following the points deduction handed out to Juventus. However, they have also been in excellent form on the field, winning two of their previous three. That run of form has seen them move up to third in the standings, and they are just two points adrift of Inter Milan in second.
Lazio has also been one of the most difficult teams to beat in Serie A throughout this season, as they have lost just four times. The Lazio stats look impressive ahead of this fixture, but they will be looking for a response after being held to a 1-1 draw in their most recent league fixture against Fiorentina. Regardless, they have been prominent Coppa Italia picks throughout this season, rising to every question posed of them.
Felipe Anderson scored the winning goal in the previous round against Bologna to seal a 1-0 win. Lazio last won this competition in 2019, but they will be bidding for revenge against Juventus after losing the 2017 and 2015 finals to the Old Lady. Maurizio Sarri will have a fully fit squad to select from for this quarterfinal showdown.

Juventus vs. Lazio Betting Prediction
Juventus is unbeaten in their last six matches against Lazio in all competitions. However, each of the previous two in domestic cup tournaments has been won by the visitors. It may be hard to back the hosts in our Juventus vs Lazio picks this week, given the poor form that they have been in.
Sarri’s side has been progressing very nicely throughout the campaign, and we could see them reaching the final four. However, a low-scoring fixture is likely between the two rivals, with under 2.5 goals being scored.
Pick: Lazio (+275)
Pick: Under 2.5 Goals (-138)
