Preview | Juventus-Lazio | 10 things to know

Juventus will take on Lazio in an upcoming Serie A clash at the Allianz Stadium. Here are ten important facts and statistics to consider before the match:

1. Juventus has scored six of its nine goals this season in the final 15 minutes of matches. In comparison, only Barcelona and Atlético Madrid have scored more goals in the same period across Europe's top five leagues.

2. Juventus leads the league in goals scored from crosses in the final third, with five such goals this season. Additionally, Juventus is one of six teams without conceding a goal from this type of situation.

3. The Bianconeri have allowed only 90 touches of the ball inside their penalty area this season, the lowest figure in Serie A. Only Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen have registered fewer touches.

4. French forward Randal Kolo Muani has been instrumental in five goals in his last five appearances for Juventus, scoring three times and providing two assists. He has netted in his last two matches against Cagliari and Celta Vigo, and could score in three consecutive matches for the second time this season.

5. Brazilian defender Bremer has scored 22 of his 24 Serie A goals from set-piece situations, making him the highest-scoring defender in the competition from such situations. He has also scored 18 headers from set pieces, behind only Victor Osimhen and Lautaro Martínez.

6. Douglas Luiz, despite not scoring or providing an assist in Serie A this season, has been involved in the most shots (22), accounting for 14 attempts on goal and eight chances created for teammates.

7. Pape Matar Sarr and Edon Zhegrova, two of the top four players for touches per 90 minutes in Serie A, both play for Juventus. Sarr ranks second with 119 touches, while Zhegrova sits fourth with 105 touches.

8. Argentine striker Nico González has scored two of his last three Serie A goals from outside the penalty area, despite previously scoring only once from long range in the Italian top flight.

9. French defender Pierre Kalulu has reached 100 appearances for Juventus across all competitions in the UEFA Europa League clash against Celta Vigo. This milestone marks an important achievement for the player, who joined the Bianconeri in the summer of 2024.
