Lazio will welcome Serie A leaders Juventus to the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday with the aim of bouncing back from their first defeat in seven league games.
Stefano Pioli's side may be nine points adrift of the Old Lady in the league table, but they recently went six games unbeaten following a poor start of three defeats in four.
The fifth-placed team have been positive in front of goal having netted 21 times after 11 games, but the team have also had some shaky moments at the back, conceding 13 goals overall so far.
For Juventus, Massimiliano Allegri's men are in a strong run of form having recorded just one blemish on their league record so far - a 1-0 defeat to Genoa last month.
Juve were prolific in their last Serie A fixture prior to the international break as Fernando Llorente, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Carlos Tevez and Alvaro Morata all got on the scoresheet in a 7-0 thumping over Parma in Turin.
Juventus are stretching away from rivals Roma with a three-point lead at the top of the standings, but they face a tough prospect against Lazio on away turf.
The last league meeting between the two sides at the Stadio Olimpico resulted in a 1-1 draw, but goals could be on the cards for this match, with Juve finding the back of the net in every Serie A match bar one so far this season.
Filip Djordjevic is expected to lead the line for the home side, while captain and goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon and vice-captain Giorgio Chiellini are likely to start after both signed new deals with Juventus.
