Preview: Juventus vs. Lazio

Juventus will be keen to extend their lead at the top of Serie A on Saturday when they welcome Lazio to Turin.

The Italian champions are currently four points clear at the top with 31 points from 12 matches, having bounced back from their home defeat to Inter Milan with a 6-1 hammering of Pescara away.

Sandwiched between those two games was the 4-0 victory over FC Nordsjaelland in the Champions League, meaning that Antonio Conte's side are back on top form after a minor derailment.

Lazio too seem to have recovered from their poor form with two competitive wins in a row, including a 3-2 win against Roma in the Rome derby last weekend.

Vladimir Petkovic's side are currently fifth in the league standings with 22 points from 12 matches, just four points off the third and final Champions league spot.

Midfielder Stefano Mauri and defender Senad Lulic are suspended for Lazio. Christian Brocchi and Stefan Radu could return to the Aquile starting lineup.

Andrea Pirlo is suspended for Juve.
