Juventus to host Lazio in Serie A Matchweek 7 at Allianz Arena on October 18, 2026

Juventus will host Lazio at the Allianz Arena in Torino on October 18, 2026, in a Serie A Matchweek 7 fixture, with confirmed starting lineups and pre-match updates issued ahead of kick-off.

Juventus sit sixth in the table with 11 points from six games and arrive on the back of a 1-1 draw at Cagliari; Maldini opened the scoring in the 20th minute before Randal Kolo Muani equalised in the 81st. Kolo Muani’s header at Cagliari ended a 17-month Serie A goal drought, and Juventus have won 12 of their last 16 Serie A home matches against Lazio, losing just once. Coach Spalletti will be absent from the dugout after picking up a red card in the last game.

Lazio are jointly atop the points table after winning five of their first six matches and enter Torino following consecutive victories over Venezia and Monza. Former Italy national team gaffer Gennaro Gattuso has taken over the reins of Lazio and, the report says, has done a pretty amazing job since his arrival. The Rome-based side are described as one of the title contenders so far after the first six matchweeks, and Gattuso will be keen to extend his team’s unbeaten streak against the Old Lady.

Juventus’ Brazilian midfielder Luiz, who previously played for Aston Villa, Manchester City and Nottingham Forest before moving to Torino with Juventus, is singled out for his technical ability and set-piece threat. The piece notes Luiz offers tempo control and defensive coverage for the Bianconeri midfield and will be up against Isaksen in the upcoming match. An Olympic Gold medalist in Tokyo 2020 and a senior international for Brazil, Luiz is identified as a player to watch.

Lazio’s Rome-born midfielder Davide Frattesi is currently on loan from Inter Milan and is described as a hyper-energetic, goal-scoring engine in midfield. At the Stadio Olimpico he is called an undisputed midfield catalyst, having scored three goals in seven games so far this season. Frattesi will be lined up against Argentine winger Nicolás González on the right and is expected to shoulder responsibility for dominating midfield for Lazio.
