Juventus welcome Lazio to the Allianz Stadium in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinals on Tuesday.
The hosts booked their place in the last-four with a comfortable 4-0 home win over Frosinone in January, with Arkadiusz Milik bagging a hat-trick. Lazio, meanwhile, sealed their berth in the semis with a hard-fought 1-0 win over local rivals Roma. Mattia Zaccagni scored the only goal of the game from the spot in the second half, where three players were sent off in stoppage time.
In their Serie A meeting on Saturday, Adam Marušić's injury-time strike helped Lazio win 1-0 at home as Juventus went winless in March across competitions.

Filip Kostic is back in training after missing out on the Serie A meeting last week and is an option for boss Massimiliano Allegri. Alex Sandro and Carlos Alcaraz took part in partial training and face late fitness tests. Arkadiusz Milik remains sidelined with an injury, but Dusan Vlahovic should be back after serving a suspension in the league meeting on Saturday.
Lazio, meanwhile, have two wins on the trot after consecutive losses in their first three games in March. They have two wins in their last 10 games in this fixture, with both coming at home.
Manager Igor Tudor had a winning debut and will look to secure a second consecutive win over Juventus. Ivan Provedel and Nicolò Rovella remain sidelined with injuries and won't travel to Turin.
The Bianconeri welcome back a couple of players. With that in mind and considering their home advantage, Juventus should eke out a narrow win.
