According to reports from Gazzetta, coach Marco Baroni is aiming for a crucial result in the upcoming match. Regardless of the outcome, his position as coach is confirmed. The stakes are high for his team, with the significant possibility of reaching top-tier European competition.
Lazio, despite being a pleasant surprise for much of the season, is approaching the final phase of the championship somewhat fatigued. Nevertheless, they still have the opportunity to achieve a remarkable goal given the season`s initial expectations: qualification for the Champions League.
However, alongside this significant opportunity lies the risk of ending the season empty-handed, meaning failing to qualify even for the other two continental competitions (Europa League or Conference League). The result of tonight`s match against Juventus will clearly and perhaps definitively steer the team`s seasonal outcome.
A victory would open the doors to “paradise” (understood as the Champions League). A defeat would irrecoverably compromise that major target and make qualification for the reserve competitions difficult as well. A draw would postpone everything until the final two matches, but – at least concerning the Champions League objective – it would closely resemble a defeat.
