Juventus took a third minute lead in their opening game of the Serie A season but had to rely on a second half injury time winner to get the three points. Now they host Lazio at home and Cristiano Ronaldo makes his home debut for the club. Juventus are unbeaten in their last five league games but it's at home where the stats get really scary for visiting teams. Just the two home league defeats in their last 56 home games but one of those just happened to be inflicted on them by Lazio who beat them 2-1 last October so the fear factor might not be that high, then again Juventus didn't have Ronaldo in their team back then.

It's not been an easy start to the season for Lazio. Their first two league games are against the top two in Serie A last season. They finished fifth in the table last season and scored 89 goals, more than any other team. In terms of points though they were 23 behind Juventus. Away form was impressive last season with 12 league wins but Lazio come into this game with no points having lost their opening fixture 2-1 at home to Napoli. That's despite taking a first half lead. That's three games in a row Lazio have lost following friendly losses to Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund. It's also four league games without a win after a poor end to last season. Go for Juventus to get the home win in this game.
