For me, it all comes down to Lazio's decisions. If they come out in an aggressive manner, high up the pitch, pressing us, fighting back - I think we will really really struggle.
If they park the bus with that 5 man back line they are playing right into our hands. I still can't believe the amount of respect we receive from our opponents. We are reeling, hurt and lack any real counter attacking quality.
If Lazio wants to play a slow, tactical match then fine. I don't think Mirko really wants to run around. I don't think Vidal really has much gas left in the tank right now and I don't think our defence feels like dealing with constant pressure right now.
I could see us scraping one and bunkering down for dear life.

It's the amount of athleticism Juve possess that makes teams reluctanct to take them on in an open game.
I understand it to some extent, but I agree that Juve are vulnerable just now, particularly when they are not going to playing anything like their strongest midfield.
Lazio's midfield is very strong, so they should be backing Ledesma, Hernanes and Gonzalez to be able to control the game and allow Lazio to play higher up the pitch, without taking risks that would allow Juve to counter-attack.
