Stats & Facts | Lazio-Juventus | Coppa Italia 

A 22nd Coppa Italia final is at stake for Juventus tonight, who are in Rome to take on lazio in their second leg semi-final, holding a 2-0 advantage from the first leg.

Ahead of tonight’s 21:00 CEST, brush up on your knowledge of the two sides heading into tonight’s encounter:

FIVE FACTS

• Lazio have not lost at home in the Italian Cup since January 2016, against Juventus (0-1 with a goal from Stephan Lichtsteiner); since then, 13 games for the Biancocelesti with 11 wins and two draws and with only five goals conceded in that period (nine clean sheets).
• In the 2000s, Lazio managed to overturn the outcome of the match only once in the four occasions in which they lost the first leg in a two-legged tie of the Italian Cup, defeating Juventus in the quarter-finals in January 2000 (3-2 defeat in Turin, 2-1 victory in Rome).
• Lazio are coming off two victories in the league, but only at the beginning of January did they manage to score three consecutive victories in 2024, considering all the competitions: in Serie A against Udinese and Lecce, in the Italian Cup against Roma (5 wins in a row if we also count the end of 2023).
• Juventus could play their 22nd Italian Cup final, already a record in the competition; while Lazio reaching an 11th would equal Fiorentina (who are fighting for a 12th), behind Roma (16), Inter (15) and Milan (12).
• Juventus have always reached the final of the Italian Cup on the 10 occasions in which they won the first leg of their semi-final, while more generally they have prevailed in the last nine home and away matches starting from a success; the last negative precedent dates back to the 2002 double final against Parma (2-1 home and 1-0 defeat at the Tardini, with the Ducali crowned winners thanks to the away goals rule).
