Lazio
Juventus to win

Juventus are favoured at home and their recent home results provide enough support for a narrow win lean.
Juventus are the market's clear home favourites against Lazio, but this is no free hit for the hosts. Lazio sit third after an unbeaten five-match start, while Juventus have put together two wins from their last three league outings. My prediction is a narrow Juventus win, with both teams capable of landing a punch in Torino. Here's why the home side still get the nod.
Here's the thing: Juventus have earned favourite status, but Lazio have made a very convincing start themselves. Juventus sit seventh on 10 points after five matches, with three wins, one draw and one defeat. Their listed home results are encouraging too: 2-0 wins over Parma and Atalanta, plus a 1-1 draw with AC Milan. That's a useful platform at Juventus Stadium, and it makes the home-win case more than just a reputation pick.
Lazio, though, arrive third with 13 points and no defeats from five. Four wins and a draw, eight scored and only three conceded is a tidy return. Their recent sequence includes wins away to Bologna, Udinese and Venezia, while a 2-2 draw against AC Milan shows they can score against stronger opposition as well. I don't think Juventus should expect to control this without resistance.
For me, the difference is the venue and the market's view of the matchup. Juventus are available at 1.66, a notably shorter price than Lazio at 5.50, and their home form gives that preference some grounding. Still, Lazio's form makes the draw a live concern rather than an afterthought. I'm leaning Juventus to find a way through, but not to cruise. A 2-1 home win feels like the most coherent score angle: it respects Juventus' home results while giving Lazio credit for the level they have shown across this opening run.
Juventus have the home edge, but Lazio's unbeaten start makes a close, high-pressure home win the more likely outcome.
