Lazio vs. Juventus: 2015 Coppa Italia finalists meet again

Having gone head-to-head for the Coppa Italia trophy in 2015, Lazio and Juventus will play for a place in the semifinals this time around.

Juventus beat Lazio to the Coppa Italia in the 2015 final and on Wednesday they meet at the Stadio Olimpico again, this time in the quarter-final stage.

Lazio took the lead in last May's final at their home stadium but succumbed to a 2-1 defeat after extra time with Alessandro Matri's 97th-minute strike earning what would be the first part of a domestic double in Massimiliano Allegri's maiden Juventus campaign.

The win ended Juve's 20-year wait for a 10th Coppa Italia title and made them the competition's most successful club.
