Top marksman

Looking at the goalscorer market, it would seem a good idea to side with Ciro Immobile. He is one of the Lazio players, who is showing decent form right now. He managed to find the back of the net 4 times in his most recent outing. Surely, he will want to add more goals against Juventus.

The visitors will be looking to in-form Paulo Dybala to find the net once again, as he has been their main man recently. The Argentine attacker has netted 3 goals for Juventus in their latest matches.
