I woudnt play Lich in midfield, instead in his best position of RB where he has excelled all season long. Id go like this

                           Carrizo

Lich            Diakhite        Rozenhal        Radi

                          Ledesma
Foggia                                           Meghni

                          Pandev

               Rocchi             Zarate

If Matu is fit i would bring hin on later in the game, this is too big a game to take a risk on a player who has not even played one game this season

Nice lineup, but we may have to sacrifice megnhi or foggia for dabo.
I hope megnhi keeps playing and doing well instead of mauri.

I was just reading that Matu has started training with the team but is not ready for juve because he still can't play an entire 90 minutes. We should move on another midfielder this mercato .. the juventus game is the last official game of the season then we start over with the same teams again. It's almost as if this guy is a january signing coming in now.

The players are optimistic.
It is time to RAPE juve.

Lazio - Juventus
Stadio Olimpico
      
Week 19 offers Serie A viewers a classic clash between Lazio and Juventus at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. The Biancocelesti are chasing a UEFA Cup spot this season while the Bianconeri are aiming for the title.

Lazio approach this game on the back of two consecutive wins and collected a super victory in Calabria against Reggina at the weekend. The Capitolini now lie seventh in the table with 30 points, two behind duo Fiorentina and Genoa and three behind Napoli.

“This team is returning to playing high level football and I am convinced we can do well,” said Delio Rossi. “I believe Tommaso Rocchi, Goran Pandev and Mauro Zarate can play together – they just need to collaborate.”

Meanwhile, Juventus come from a brilliant weekend, which saw them reduce the gap between themselves and Inter to only four points. Perhaps their 1-0 win over Siena wasn’t their best performance of the season, yet the Bianconeri still delivered in front of their fans.

“Siena didn’t deserve to lose and could have drew against us,” stated Claudio Ranieri at the end of the game. “We are lucky enough to have our captain who is in top form at the moment. Inter are not that far away but we need to focus on ourselves – it is not important what they do as long as we keep on winning.”

Christian Manfredini will be out for this game as well as Sebastiano Siviglia and Francelino Matuzalem. Mobido Diakite, who has been linked to Arsenal recently, should start in defence while French starlet Mourad Meghni will take his place in midfield. In attack Rossi could risk the Za-Pa-Ro trio.

After a long absence Gianluigi Buffon should return to defend the Old Lady’s net for this important away clash despite Alexander Manninger being decisive against Siena. Olof Mellberg will play on the right as Zdenek Grygera is suspended.

Giorgio Chiellini will also return in defence while Claudio Marchisio should be preferred to Danish midfielder Christian Poulsen. Alessandro Del Piero will be starting up front alongside Brazilian ace Amauri. The duo has scored 18 Serie A goals collectively this term.

Keep an eye on: Alex Del Piero (Juventus) – The Bianconeri legend added another fantastic performance to his campaign by netting an amazing free-kick against the Senesi. Lazio and Juan Pablo Carrizo are likely to be his next victims.

Last season: Lazio 2-3 Juventus

Form guide: Lazio (L L D W W) Juventus (W W W W W)
Lazio (probable): Carrizo; De Silvestri, Diakite, Rozehnal, Radu; Dabo, Ledesma, Meghni; Pandev, Rocchi, Zarate

Juventus (probable): Buffon; Mellberg, Legrottaglie, Chiellini, Molinaro; Camoranesi, Sissoko, Marchisio, Nedved; Del Piero, Amauri

I agree, but the other teams havent got it easy either. Fiorentina must face Milan and Juve away next so they could loose both. Napoli and genoa are away at the weekend and they are far better at home and roma must visit naples in the next fixtures after this so they will get smashed there. We may be really close to fourth after next weeks round as we have cagliari at home and should win that one.

Lazio Will Do Their Best To Beat Juventus - Meghni
The Biancocelesti prepare to host the Bianconeri at the Olimpico stadium on Sunday evening in the 19th matchday of Serie A.
Lazio midfielder Mourad Meghni is looking forward to the clash against Juventus in order to gauge the level of his team.

He believes that the Biancocelesti are at a good point, but he wants to back this with a positive result against the in-form Bianconeri side.

"We're in a good moment, we must know that also we're a great team and we will give our best," declared the former Bologna player to Sky.

His team-mate Ousmane Dabo recently declared that Juventus are now more beatable since they are not helped by referees anymore.

"I don't know how true it is, but I'm convinced that they will be very difficult to beat," explained Meghni.

The French player has been playing lately in a different position than his usual one, but that does not seem to bother him too much.

"I find myself well in this position, which I had already covered before, and I'm improving all the time," he continued.

"Surely before the game, the coach will have nothing special to tell us because when we face Juventus we always give everything."

Lazio are currently in seventh place with 30 points from 18 games played, just three points behind fourth place - a spot which will secure a position in next season's Champions League.

Whoever will play in juve this weekend, if we aim to 4th spot, it shouln't be problem. I believe at which we can beat juve, it will be hard but not impossible...

Forza Lazio
