The match between Juventus and Lazio (sunday evening at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin) is the duel between two teams who, in theory, belong to the big teams in the Serie A, but who are both having a quite unfortunate season. At least Juventus, after their elimination from Coppa Italia (1-2 at San Siro against Inter), can now concentrate fully on the championship, but no one is talking about the scudetto anymore, Inter being already out of reach (16 points ahead of Juve). Maybe with the new coach Alberto Zaccheroni things will change, otherwise Juve will even fall out of the Uefa Cup zone, and there's still a lot of space below them...
Of cours ethe situation of Lazio is even more preoccupying: the biancocelesti, who had started to the season with two victories and with high hopes, are now on the 15th place in the Serie A, they haven't won sice months, and with a defeat against Juve they might bump into the relegation zone. Not a nice perspective for the team of Ballardini, and if Lazio doesn't get out of the danger zone quickly then the coach might have the same destiny as his (ex-) collegue Ciro Ferrara at Juventus.
