Tuesday Soccer Preview


So far on the year I'm 7-5 with predictions.

Tuesday, January 29th

Italian Coppa Italia Semifinal:

Juventus @ Lazio (2nd Leg, Currently 1:1) "Game of the Day"

Today's "Game of the Day" is the cup semifinal between Juventus and Lazio. This is the second leg between two teams that are currently fighting for a spot in the final of the Coppa Italia in May. Juventus is having an amazing season up to this point and could possibly win the Treble (League, Cup & European Cup). Juventus is a part of the final 16 for the Champions League and are facing a weaker Celtic team so getting to the round of 8 shouldn't be a problem. As for Serie A, Juventus is currently sitting pretty in first place with Lazio two spots behind them in third. Juventus and Lazio should enjoy this season a lot while they can because there won't be many chances like this while the two big clubs from Milan are currently struggling.

Game 1 ended in a tie so a lot is riding on this game for both teams. The winner of this game will play the winner of Inter Milan and Roma in the Final in late May. Game 1 only saw two goals between the two teams with Federico Peluso starting the scoring for Juventus and then Stefano Mauri of Lazio tieing it up late in the game.

My prediction: Juventus win 2-1 (3:2 on aggregate)
