Preview 
 Stefano Mauri's late equaliser at the Juventus Stadium gave Lazio a vital away goal ahead of the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final.
Aware that they must score, Juventus will most likely start with two strikers. Fabio Quagliarella could retain his starting berth up front after scoring in the 1-1 draw with Genoa at the weekend, while Sebastian Giovinco is pushing for a start having been left on the bench in the previous match and he could replace Mirko Vucinic.
Andrea Pirlo should return to training later this week but the 33-year-old is ruled out of Tuesday's contest against the Biancocelesti. With Kwadwo Asamoah on international duty with Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations, Arturo Vidal, Paul Pogba and Claudio Marchisio are expected to continue in central midfield. Emanuele Giaccherini could replace Paolo De Ceglie on the left wing.
Lazio's top goalscorer Miroslav Klose is still sidelined through a muscular injury, meaning that Sergio Floccari should continue up front, although Czech Republic forward Libor Kozak could start.
Lazio are likely to employ a four-man defence, with Luis Pedro Cavanda and Stefan Radu poised to start in the wing-back positions. Michael Ciani and Andre Dias are vying for the chance to partner Giuseppe Biava in central defence whilst Antonio Candreva is expected to return to the XI, having missed the first leg.

last week in Turin, Juventus and Lazio split the spoils, with Federico Peluso scoring for the home side, and Stefano Mauri coming through in the dying minutes with an equalizer. Now it's on to Rome, where this could be the most thrilling second leg in Coppa history, or the sort of cautious, dull match that leads viewers to contemplating poking a pencil through their eyeball to spice things up.
One of the reasons this match could go either way is that both sides are smarting from their weekend performances. Juve, as been their want in 2013, gave away another late goal, leading to a 1-1 draw with relegation strugglers Genoa. Lazio, for their part, didn't even manage to score a goal, losing 1-0 to visiting Chievo.
But there's no room for slips of concentration or lack of determination on Tuesday, what with the chance to compete for a trophy -- and possibly play against their bitter rivals, should Juve get Inter or Lazio, Roma. Still, both sides face a significant setback: The Old Lady are missing Giorgio Chiellini, creating a weakness on the left side that their opponents have been exploiting. The biancocelesti are without Miroslav Klose, who may not be their best player, but is certainly their top scorer and has the ability to poach goals.
Lazio, at least, will be able to make a significant change from the match against Chievo Verona. Hernanes, who started on the bench on Saturday, will almost certainly play from the opening whistle -- if not, Vladimir Petkovic certainly has some 'splaining to do. Mauri, too, began on the bench, and the introduction of both attackers livened up the match. Even without Klose, Lazio should have a goal in them. Let's hope they seek it, rather than resting on that crucial away goal.
Because Juventus are almost certainly going to score. They've been held scoreless on three occasions this season, against Fiorentina, AC Milan, and...Lazio. But that match depended on Federico Marchetti being absolutely flawless, and the goalkeeper just might see the pressure get to him on Tuesday. This is a Juventus side that expects to win, every match and every trophy, and their recent setbacks will only spur on that determination.
