Lazio arrive in Turin as Serie A co-leaders, unbeaten with three away wins from three, against a Juventus side that has not lost at home but played in Europe three days earlier.

Juventus are the likelier single winner at home, yet the 2.2 on Lazio avoiding defeat is worth taking and the 5 on a Lazio win also holds up. The 1.91 on both teams scoring offers no clear advantage and the 1.88 on over 2.5 goals is not worth taking.

Context

Spalletti was dismissed in the 94th minute at Cagliari after a confrontation with Fabio Pisacane, and a one-match ban keeps him out of the technical area for this fixture. Juventus will therefore face the league's co-leaders with his staff directing in-game decisions, although preparation and the starting line-up remain his work during the week. The ban lands with Juventus already under scrutiny after dropping points at Cagliari, and a touchline-only sanction does not remove his influence on the game plan.
- Luciano Spalletti was sent off in the 94th minute of Cagliari-Juventus after a confrontation with Cagliari coach Fabio Pisacane.
- A one-match suspension for a provocative attitude towards the opposing coach keeps him off the bench for Juventus-Lazio.
- The exchange was not entered in the officials' documentation, so the ban was limited to a single game.

Lazio's win over Monza moved them to 16 points from six league games, level with Inter and the strongest opening in the club's history, with five wins and a draw against Milan. They arrive at Juventus unbeaten and will be judged on whether that form holds against a direct rival, having so far beaten Bologna, Genoa, Udinese, Venezia and Monza. The sequence is only six matches old and the fixture list has not yet included the division's strongest sides, so the table position still leaves plenty unproven.
- Nuno Tavares, Gustav Isaksen and Andrea Pinamonti scored in Lazio's 3-1 win over Monza on 11 October.
- Lazio have 16 points from six Serie A games, level with Inter at the top.
- It is the best start to a season in the club's history and five points better than Juventus have managed.

Juventus face Celta Vigo away in the Europa League on Thursday 15 October, three days before Lazio visit, while Lazio trained through the week with only Serie A commitments. That gives Gattuso more recovery and preparation time and may push Spalletti into rotation or travel management around a European away night. The advantage is one of freshness rather than quality, and Juventus have the larger squad to absorb it; Spalletti's selection in Vigo is not yet known, so the scale of any rotation remains unresolved.
- Celta Vigo host Juventus in the Europa League on Thursday 15 October.
- Lazio resumed training on Wednesday 14 October after two days off, with the Juventus trip as their next game.
- Lazio's October schedule contains only Serie A fixtures.

Grabara damaged the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in training on 19 September and had surgery in Poland, with an expected absence of six to seven months. Juventus have settled on Guglielmo Vicario as their regular goalkeeper, so the position is not an active selection question for this fixture. The loss removes the goalkeeper who began the season as first choice, and the club briefly weighed a move in the free-agent market before relying on its existing options. It stands as background to the squad rather than a fresh disruption for Lazio's visit.
- Kamil Grabara suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury to his right knee in training on 19 September.
- He had surgery in Poland and faces an absence of six to seven months.
- Guglielmo Vicario has been Juventus's regular goalkeeper in his absence.
