Juventus FC 0-3 SS Lazio: Serie A Match Report, 18 October 2026

Two runs ended in Turin on the same evening. Juventus had not lost at home this season and had scored in every league game they had played; Juventus FC 0-3 SS Lazio finished both. Lazio led 1-0 at half-time and added two more after it, so this was a lead stretched rather than a game turned: the visitors were in front at the break and only moved further away.

Lazio were the form side going in. They arrived third on 16 points from six games, five wins and a draw, goal difference +7, and had won all three of their away league matches while conceding once. Juventus were seventh on 11 points, +4: three wins, two draws and a 3-2 defeat at Sassuolo, with a home record of two wins and a draw and a single goal conceded.

Nothing in the recent meetings pointed to a margin like this. The four previous games on record produced a win each, two draws and eight goals split evenly, and none was settled by more than one goal. The most recent, in Turin in February, stood the same way at half-time, Lazio a goal up, before Juventus recovered to 2-2. This time the second half went the other way.

No preview of this fixture was ever published here. It was played on 18 October, inside the month the site went without updates.

The win takes Lazio to 19 points from seven games, unbeaten, with a goal difference of +10. Away from home they now read four played, four won, eight scored, one conceded. Last season they finished ninth on 54 points, 15 behind Juventus; seven games into this one they are eight ahead of them, having begun the evening five clear. A rate of 2.7 points a game against last season's 1.42 is unlikely to last 38 matches, and seven games make a thin base, but this is no longer a hot fortnight either.

Juventus stay on 11 from seven, and their goal difference falls from +4 to +1, one evening undoing most of what six games had built. Three conceded equals their worst of the season, the 3-2 at Sassuolo, and this was the first match in which they failed to score. They finished sixth last season on 69 points, about 1.82 a game; 11 from seven is 1.57. That shortfall is real but modest, and a single heavy home defeat is a weaker signal than it looks on the night. What the evening did do is widen the gap: Juventus are now eight points behind a club they finished 15 points above in May.
