Before that, however, the Bianconeri enjoyed a decent 5-game unbeaten run at home in all competitions (4-1-0).
Having scored at least two goals four times in that period.
But Allegri's defense, which has looked impenetrable until recently, has conceded 2+ goals in three of their last 4 matches.
Casting doubt on the home side's bid to qualify for the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia for the 4th consecutive season.
However, Juve have the upper hand in recent head-to-head matches .
As they have not lost any of their last 6 meetings with Lazio in all competitions (4-2-0).
Including a crushing 3-0 win here in October 2022.

Furthermore, 7 of the last 9 head-to-head meetings between these two rivals have also featured 3 or more goals .

Juventus - statistics and info
Last season's finalists Juventus beat Monza 2-1 in the previous round.
And reached the 1/4-finals of the Italian Cup for the 16th season in a row.
However, Monza avenged their cup elimination with a comfortable 2-0 Serie A win in Turin at the weekend.
Bringing more misery to the Bianconeri's disastrous Calcio season .
Juventus were a viable contender for the top four until recently.
Before a penalty of 15 points from their asset dropped them to mid-table.
Significantly limiting their chances of securing a place in the Champions League next season.
Massimiliano Allegri's men will try to find some consolation in the Coppa Italia.
The competition they have won a record 14 times, most recently in the 2020/21 season.
Juventus are still without defender Leonardo Bonucci. The captain of the team has resumed training, but is hardly ready to play.
Dusan Vlahovic, however, is back in the lineup .
