Lazio manager Stefano Pioli has said that he is confident his side can beat Juventus in their Serie A match this weekend.

The Biancocelesti have been in impressive form over recent months and they have won their previous eight league games to climb up to second in the table.

"We must stay focused," Pioli told SportMediaset. "We're happy, but we haven't achieved anything yet. We must continue to work meticulously. I knew the potential this team had, and the club has put exactly the right conditions in place to work.

"We haven't reached our goal yet, though, there are still too many game to go before we can start celebrating.

"Can we win at Juventus? We want to try. We'll go out there to play our game, and if we leave everything on the field we'll have no regrets."

Juventus claimed a 3-0 victory over Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico when the teams met earlier this season.
