For his first time on the Lazio bench, Igor Tudor is served. He hosts Juventus at the Stadio Olimpico (kick-off at 6 p.m.). He has just revealed his line-up and has decided to do without the services of Mattéo Guendouzi (24) at kick-off, despite the discussion the two men have had in recent days. The Croatian aligns a 3-4-3 with the Kamada-Cataldi pair in the midfield, supporting Pedro, Zaccagni and the point played by Castellanos.

The choice to dismiss the Frenchman may seem surprising since he had become one of Maurizio Sarri's strong men in recent weeks. During the international break, where he was called up by Didier Deschamps to compensate for the absence of Griezmann, the player on loan from OM only played 45 minutes against Chile. A priori it is not a question of fatigue but rather a technical choice. During their cohabitation in Marseille, Tudor ended up making Guendouzi a replacement, which had upset their relationship.
