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).
