The two teams occupy the first two places in the standings, but that does not seem to be the game that will decide the championship.

Juventus is a favorite before this game by a factor of 2.00, with a draw at 3.30, and the option of Lazio to take the three points is 4.00.
Juventus is stuck on the first place till the end of the season. The players of Massimiliano Allegri look directed to the Champions League, where all typhoid dream for participation in the final. During the week, Juventus played quarter-final against Monaco and won with the minimum 1:0. Next week is the rematch between them and it is clear that Juventus thinks only about that meeting, which may send them to the semifinals of the Champions League. The lost from the bankrupt stock of Parma in the last round speaks for the underestimation of the matches in Serie A, but Juve is still the favorite and will seek his 44th consecutive victory at home. Among the absentees are Paul Pogba, Kwadwo Asamoah and Martin Caceres, which are injured and the defender Angelo Ogbonna is punished.
Lazio enjoyed a great season. "Roman eagles" not only shifted the eternal city rivals of Roma from the second place in the ranking, they will play even in the final of the Coppa Italia.
