Am I surprised with that? Not at all. I was already expecting a really close game and bookmakers are also expecting for the same thing. Maybe there is a gap of sixteen points in the standings but this is easy to misguide someone. Even though Lazio aren't performing the same as the previous season they can still make serious difficulties home. Especially while Juventus are in a bad form I wouldn't bet on them. If I place a bet my choice would be both teams to score @2.03.
I bet the match will end in a draw. I'm not sure Juventus will be able to beat Lazio even though Lazio is ranked 9th in the standings. After the defeat to Inter Milan, Juventus' performance has really declined. I don't know what's going on with Juventus as a whole. Do they no longer have the spirit of competition so they only think about securing a place in the Champions League? I wouldn't bet on Juventus in that match either. But I'm also not sure Lazio will be able to win the match. So I choose to bet that both teams will draw.
The chance of a draw in this match is also quite large and both clubs also don't want to lose all the points in this match because the points they get in the remaining matches this season are very important for them to achieve. It is very natural for Juventus to get big chance but their inconsistent performance and Juventus lost too many points in their last few matches and only maximized their draw in facing a match that was quite difficult for them, I also don't understand what is wrong with Juventus, the mentality of the players seems to have decreased after experiencing continuous defeats, especially after being left quite far behind. with Inter Milan, making Juventus no longer have any hope of winning the title this season.
I think Juventus' decline this season is because they are experiencing pressure from various parties where Juventus is being led to compete with Inter Milan in the race for the title even though Juventus players are not as capable as Inter Milan's players who are stronger and more productive, especially by not participating in any competitions by the club and fans demand more for Juventus to perform better but Juventus cannot meet everyone's expectations.
