Juventus welcome Lazio on Monday night, in the game that concludes the penultimate Matchday of Serie A 2021/22. The Bianconeri have made sure of Champions League football next season, but the race to secure Europa League qualification is far from decided. With their 62 points so far, Lazio have edged a three-point advantage over the three chasing teams, Roma, Fiorentina and Atalanta, all tied on 59.
Four points from the six still available will guarantee Biancocelesti access to the Europa League. Maurizio Sarri's side have won nine of their 17 fixtures in the second half of the season, exactly as they had collected before the Winter break when they had played two games more. The four defeats in 2022 have been inflicted by the teams ahead of Lazio in the standings, Inter, Napoli, Milan and Rome, who they have since overtaken on the back of the two recent wins.
