Black & White & Read All Over published an analysis of Juventus' recent performances against Lazio and Rennes, highlighting the contrast between the two matches. Juventus lost 3-0 to Lazio, while drawing 2-2 with Rennes four days later. The publication attributes the analysis to the author's observations.
The author notes that Juventus struggled with identity and organization, particularly against Lazio, where they were outmaneuvered and lacked purpose. Against Rennes, Juventus showed a different approach, defending compactly and attacking quickly, which made them appear more comfortable without the ball.
The author suggests that the Rennes match showed signs of a tactical framework suiting the available players, with Juventus being more direct and purposeful in attack. However, the publication notes that Juventus still have significant flaws and that the draw was not evidence of solved problems.

Source context
For many of us Juventus supporters — reasonable and right-thinking folk that we are — the 3-0 home defeat to Lazio felt like more than just another bad result. It felt like a hard stop, a reality check, the end of any fun on this rollercoaster. Let’s be honest, it’s getting hard out there. Four days later, came another city, another club and a 2-2 draw against Rennes. This was not a great result. It was not a statement performance.
