Lazio are getting back on track...

Having archived the match against Inter, Juventus begins its hunt for the Coppa Italia final in an attempt to add the 10th national trophy to the cupboard.

In order to do this it is necessary to turn round the 2-1 defeat suffered against Lazio in the first leg of the semi-final played on the 3rd of March at the Rome Olimpico.

The biancocelesti, after an uncertain period during the second half of March, when they suffered three consecutive victories in the championship against Chievo (0-3 at home), Catania and Siena seem to have got back on track boosted by the resounding 4-2 victory in the Derby della Capitale.

The good moment of Delio Rossi’s team is confirmed even by the second consecutive victory obtained at the Marassi against Genoa thanks to a goal by Zarate. Juventus will need to win by 1-0 on Wednesday to go through to the final but great attention in the defence will be necessary: it is also true that in 4 out of the 5 matches played up to now in the Coppa Italia, Lazio always conceded a goal but the victory by 2-1 in the knock out match against Milan at the San Siro, the only one played away, shows that the team from Rome is a formation to fear on any field especially when one considers the 7 away victories obtained in the championship. Delio Rossi however, with all probability will have to do without Goran Pandev: the Macedonian, Lazio’s best striker in the Coppa Italia with 5 goals, injured himself during the match against Genoa and will miss the match.
