Juventus and Lazio go head-to-head in a heavyweight Coppa Italia quarter-final tie on Thursday night.

Juventus suffered a frustrating 1-0 loss to Lazio in their last league match, extending their winless streak to four games. Under coach Massimiliano Allegri, they've seen a dip in form, drawing and losing two matches each in their last four. Despite changing formations to 4-3-3, they've struggled to maintain their usual standards. Even at home, they've drawn three and lost one of their last five matches, conceding goals in four of them.

Lazio, under Igor Tudor, secured a narrow 1-0 win over Juventus, extending their winning streak to two games after defeating Frosinone 3-2. They aim to maintain momentum for a third consecutive win. Seeking revenge for last year's defeat in the quarterfinals, Lazio has progressed through this season's tournament with wins over Genoa and Roma, both by a 1-0 scoreline. However, their recent away matches have seen high-scoring affairs, conceding seven goals in their last three games. They'll need to shore up defensively to stay competitive in the tie.
