3-0 Home Collapse Pushes Juventus Behind Sacked Tudor's Pace
Lazio delivered a 3-0 defeat to Juventus at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday evening, leaving Luciano Spalletti’s side eight points behind the Serie A leaders after seven matches. The result drops the Bianconeri to 11 points with a record of three wins, two draws, and two losses. Oliver Provstgaard Nielsen set the tone by opening the scoring for Gennaro Gattuso’s visiting side, with the squad taking full control in Turin to claim all three points.
Gattuso’s Structured Lazio Exposes Spacing Issues at Allianz Stadium
Lazio found constant success piercing the central channels as Juventus struggled with structural spacing throughout the 90 minutes. Spalletti’s setup lacked defensive compactness, allowing the visitors to bypass the initial pressing line and overload the final third. The structural disconnect brought immediate vocal discontent from the home supporters, who booed the Bianconeri off the pitch at full-time.

| Metric / Stage | 2025-27 Tudor (7 Matches) | 2026-27 Spalletti (7 Matches) |
|---|---|---|
| Points Total | 12 | 11 |
| Record (W-D-L) | 3-3-1 | 3-2-2 |
| Gap to Top | N/A | 8 Points |
The loss leaves Juventus one point worse off than at the exact same seven-match mark last season under previous manager Igor Tudor. Tudor accumulated 12 points from his opening seven fixtures before being dismissed after matchday eight, with Spalletti ultimately taking over on October 30, 2025. The current 11-point return places increased focus on the starting XI selection ahead of matchday eight, where further dropped points would widen the eight-point chasm between Juventus and current co-leaders Inter and Lazio.
