Juventus gets back up in the Italian Cup , Chiesa and Vlahovic try to drag the Bianconeri out of the crisis . So Massimiliano Allegri takes revenge on Igor Tudor after the defeat a few days ago in the championship and finds his second victory in the last ten games. The 2-0 allows the Bianconeri to fly to the capital in three weeks with a two-goal advantage, even if the first half was far from brilliant.
With five changes each, Allegri and Tudor renew their face-to-face match after the one 72 hours ago in the capital.
THE NEWS – The Bianconeri return to the old way and propose the 3-5-2 again, with the new features of the back pack represented by the cup goalkeeper Perin and Gatti. Cambiaso returns to being an all-round winger, in the midfield there is space again for McKennie and on the left we see Kostic again, while in attack Vlahovic regains his place as a starter after his championship disqualification and joins the confirmed Chiesa. John Elkann is also present in the stands of the Stadium, a sign of the club's closeness to the team in this complicated and delicate moment of the season. On the biancoceleste front, however, there is Immobile as an offensive reference supported by Felipe Anderson and Luis Alberto, in midfield the new pair is formed by Guendouzi and Vecino and on the right the match-winner Marusic is brought back.
The match starts badly for Lazio, Zaccagni gets the worst of it in a clash with Gatti (later booked and will miss the return leg) and is forced to be replaced due to a problem with his left ankle . And while Tudor prepares the substitution with Isaksen, Vecino kicks Cambiaso's foot instead of the ball with Massa who whistles the penalty. Vlahovic is already on the spot, the referee is called back by the VAR and removes the penalty for a position of the Juventus winger deemed irregular despite Patric's header in the middle of the area. In fact it was the only outburst for Allegri's team, then the Biancocelesti took courage and Isaksen gave greater liveliness to the offensive maneuver , even if Immobile was hounded by Bremer.
