- In three out of the last five editions of the Italian Super Cup, the Scudetto team has lost on penalties and two of these occasions involved the Bianconeri. (The successes of Napoli in 2014 and Milan in 2016).
- For Juventus this is the 15th participation in the Italian Super Cup (at least four more than any other team) - Lazio will play this final for the eighth time. (Fourth for appearances in the competition).
- Juventus and Lazio will face off in the Italian Super Cup for the fifth time, thus becoming the two teams that have faced each other most often in the history of the competition.

- Lazio have won three of their last six games against Juventus in all competitions, as many wins as in their previous 35 games against the Bianconeri.
- Paulo Dybala has scored three goals in the Italian Super Cup - all against Lazio. If he scores today, the Argentine would become the top scorer in the history of the competition, surpassing Alessandro Del Piero, Samuel Eto'o, Andriy Shevchenko and Carlos Tevez.
- Should Gianluigi Buffon play, he would become the player with the most appearances in the history of the Italian Super Cup (currently on nine, with Dejan Stankovic). The Italian goalkeeper is also currently tied with Stankovic as the player who has won this trophy the most times (six).
