19:54 What this means
Reaching the Coppa Italia Final is a target in itself, as it guarantees qualification for next season’s Supercoppa Italiana Final Four format.
The Bianconeri won the first leg 2-0 on April 2 with goals from Chiesa and Vlahovic, who again lead the way this evening.
Federico Gatti is suspended, with Moise Kean and Mattia De Sciglio out of action, while Mattia Perin as always is the goalkeeper for the Coppa Italia.
Lazio are still without Ivan Provedel and Mattia Zaccagni, while Ciro Immobile is not fully fit and Matteo Guendouzi returns.
However, Daichi Kamada is not in the squad after a calf twinge in training.
Luis Alberto and Felipe Anderson are moved into a more advanced role behind Castellanos.
Lazio: Mandas; Casale, Romagnoli, Gila; Hysaj, Cataldi, Guendouzi, Marusic; Felipe Anderson, Luis Alberto; Castellanos
Juventus: Perin; Danilo, Bremer, Alex Sandro; Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Chiesa, Vlahovic
Ref: Orsato

19:14 No away goals rule
The Bianconeri won the first leg 2-0 on April 2 with goals from Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic, so the Aquile need to win by two clear goals to force extra time, three to turn it around completely.
